What is CAMIH?

CAMIH, short for Complementary and Alternative Medicine Insights Hub, is a database offering up-to-date evidence from randomized controlled trials on complementary approaches and methods for treating oncology patients. Each study has been meticulously reviewed and critically evaluated for methodological rigor using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool 2.0. This approach ensures that the database not only provides a comprehensive collection of evidence but also contextualizes these findings within a framework of methodological quality.

Study searches can be conducted directly via the search bar, but we also offer a thematically organized overview of all studies. Additionally, CAMIH provides an option for specific, customized search queries (via the CAMIH Helper) to generate a targeted summary on the topic of interest.

CAMIH is designed to promote transparency in medical research by offering a clear view of current evidence while emphasizing the importance of interpreting findings in relation to each study’s methodological quality. Every study entry and methodological evaluation in CAMIH has been developed by expert methodologists, using rigorous standards based on the published study details (and, where available, associated protocols or registrations). Drawing on years of expertise in study evaluation, additional assessment criteria were also developed and applied to each study in the database.

Each study page includes a reference page summarizing key information from the publication, along with dedicated author pages that link to the authors' publications. CAMIH aims to serve as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers, helping them navigate and assess evidence with precision.

Disclaimer: The Brief Summary provided on each study page was prepared by our methodology experts, taking into account study quality, and may therefore differ in content or in interpretation of the results from the original publication. In contrast, each study’s Reference page contains only information directly sourced from the publication itself.

The database was developed by a team of methodological experts in study evaluation, led by XX, in collaboration with computer scientists under the direction XX.
