补充和整合医学（CIM）包括许多不同的疗法，包括天然产品和身心实践。CIM的使用很常见，可以使姑息治疗中的患者受益。然而，由于姑息治疗的患者通常是虚弱和老年人，临床医生在推荐某些治疗方法（如天然产品）之前应考虑患者的合并症。在这篇文章中，CIM的具体例子提供了姑息治疗中常见的症状。
Complementary and Integrative Medicine (CIM) encompasses many diverse therapies, including natural products and mind and body practices. Use of CIM is common and can benefit patients in palliative care. However, because patients in palliative care are often frail and elderly, the clinician should consider a patient's comorbidities before recommending certain therapies, such as natural products. In this article, specific examples of CIM are provided for symptoms commonly seen in palliative care.
