Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review offers an evidence-based introduction to integrative therapies that can be used with children receiving palliative care and suggestions for how to incorporate these therapies into practice.

Recent Findings

For each integrative therapy discussed, recent research from both the pediatric and adult literature is summarized.

Summary

Integrative medicine offers a patient-centered approach to care that brings together conventional and complementary therapies. Evidence-based integrative therapies exist for many troublesome end-of-life symptoms, including pain, anxiety, nausea, and constipation, and offer the benefits of being low risk and non-invasive. The body of evidence on integrative therapies for pediatric palliative care is still small but interest and use among patients and providers are stimulating increased research efforts which are summarized here.
