Trial Outcomes & Findings for Integrative Medicine Consultation for Patients With Pain or Fatigue (NCT NCT01058265)

NCT ID: NCT01058265

Last Updated: 2012-02-24

Results Overview

It yields an eight-scale profile of scores (physical functioning, social functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, bodily pain, general health, mental health, and vitality) as well as summary physical and mental measures (Ware et al., 1998). The Physical Component Summary ranges from 0 to 100, and higher score indicates better physical condition. It is based on norm-based scoring, which applies a transformation with mean equals to 50 and standard deviation equals to 10, and makes it possible to comparison.

Measure
Integrative
Integrative Medical care is defined as a comprehensive medical evaluation that emphasizes wellness and healing of the whole person as major goals above and beyond suppression of a specific somatic disease. The patient is viewed as a whole person with mind and spirit as well as body and these dimensions are incorporated into diagnosis and treatment plans. An integrative medicine evaluation includes four aspects of health: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Maximum improvement in health is achieved by addressing each aspect through an integrated treatment plan. The evaluation generally takes 90-120 minutes.
