Aim: To investigate complementary and alternative medicine practices (CAMP) during clinical visits of pediatric neurology patients, to raise awareness of families and patients about the use of complementary and alternative medicine, and to prevent possible negative interactions. Methods: This prospective survey study was conducted with the parents of 300 pediatric patients aged between 6 months and 18 years, who were being treated at the Child Neurology Clinic between March 1st and May 30th, 2020. For the study, 360 patients’ parents who came to the Pediatric Neurology Clinic for treatment were randomly selected, and a face-to-face survey lasting 2 minutes was conducted with the parents of 300 patients who agreed to participate in the study. This study was approved with the decision number E-20-12-62 at the meeting dated 21.12.2020 of the Clinical Research Ethics Committee of SBU Ankara Dr Sami Ulus Gynecology and Childhood Health and Diseases Training and Research Hospital. Results: Three hundred parents (56% women) participated in the study. Just over half (55.3%) of the patients were followed up with a diagnosis of epilepsy, 56.6% of the parents stated that they had used traditional and complementary therapy methods before, 43.4% stated that they did not use them, 46.54% stated that they said prayers and 23.9% used vitamin methods, respectively. When four different independent variables were examined separately, only the education level of the patient’s fathers was statistically significant (Wald= 4.102, p=0.043) Conclusion: This result shows that as the education level of the patient’s father increases, the probability of using traditional and complementary therapies applications decreases. In neurologic diseases, parents use traditional and complementary therapies as treatment methods, creating an alternative to modern ...
