摘要
Because of its focus, palliative care offers a fertile milieu in which to apply complementary or alternative therapies. Guided imagery, hypnosis, therapeutic touch, reflexology, acupuncture, massage, acupressure, music therapy, art therapy, aromatherapy, meditation, prayer, biofeedback, humor therapy, and Reiki are all examples of a wide range of complementary therapies used to provide comfort care and to better the quality of life. This article will attempt to help the patient and family narrow the field of Internet resources.
