Abstract
ABSTRACT
There has been a considerable increase in the use of acupuncture and other practices of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) throughout Hungary. As a result, acupuncture is among the CAM modalities taught routinely to medical students in Hungarian universities, and these CAM practices are increasingly regulated. With the influx of veterans and wounded warriors from recent wars into Hungarian hospital populations, certain CAM treatments have become the treatments of choice by civilian physicians treating the soldiers. This report discusses the extent of acupuncture and other CAM treatments use by military medical personnel in Hungary.
