dc.description.abstractAim: Nowadays, due to the complaints of musculoskeletal pain, patients applicate to traditional and complementary medicine (T CM) methods in combination with conventional medical treatments. In our study, we aimed to determine the frequency and socio-demographic features of applying to T CM in patients undergoing conventional physical therapy.Results: 59 (12%) of 470 physiotherapy patients included in the study tried T CM treatment at least once due to pain. Cupping therapy has been applied most frequently. It was found that the application to T CM was significantly higher in patients who received physical therapy before (p = 0.001). T CM applications of patients who received medical treatment for pain previously were found to be significantly higher (p = 0.048). When the patients were evaluated according to their gender, body mass indexes, ages, marital status, smoking, pain localizations, there was no significant relationship between T CM applications.Conculision: T CM therapies have started to reach all patient groups regardless of age and gender. Medical and physical therapy in conventional medicine is preferred for musculoskeletal pain, but patients have also begun choice T CM methods. More information with should be provided about the effectiveness of T CM methods, applied by physicians.
