国家补充和替代医学中心（NCCAM）于1998年由国会创建，是美国国立卫生研究院的一部分。近年来，随着医疗保健提供者和消费者对替代和补充疗法的兴趣增加，NCCAM提供了研究资金，以确定各种非常规治疗的疗效。该中心还提供研究培训，并充当向从业人员和公众传播信息的交流中心。提供了NCCAM定义的替代和补充药物的入选和排除标准。在未来几年，对这些非传统治疗的兴趣可能会继续增加。NCCAM发挥着至关重要的作用，因为它提供了途径，以确定这些疗法如何能够导致提高个人的生活质量，因为我们进入新的千年。
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) was created by Congress in 1998 as part of the National Institutes of Health. As interest in alternative and complementary therapies among healthcare providers and consumers has increased in recent years, the NCCAM has provided research funding to determine the efficacy of various types of unconventional treatments. The Center also provides research training and acts as a clearing-house for information dissemination to practitioners and the general public. Inclusion and exclusion criteria for alternative and complementary medicine as defined by the NCCAM are provided. Interest in these non-traditional treatments will likely continue to increase over the next few years. The NCCAM is playing a vital role as it provides avenues to determine how these therapies can lead to enhanced quality of life for individuals as we enter the new millennium.
