A review of the literature shows that many patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have turned to the use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM).^1-3 As a neurologist who specializes in the treatment of patients with MS, I receive frequent questions about alternative therapies from many of the patients I treat. As healthcare providers, we have a responsibility to guide our patients; however, most of us know little or nothing about CAM therapies. This makes sense, since there are few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of CAM therapies in MS.
