In this study, we aimed to evaluate the perspectives of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) physicians in Turkey regarding TCM methods.Methods: A 24-question survey form was prepared which PMR physicians were asked to fill out on a voluntary basis via the internet.Results: A total of 150 physicians participated in the study of which 53.3% had TCM training. We found that specialist physicians attended TCM courses significantly more than professors or associate professors. The most preferred TCM courses were prolotherapy, ozone, and mesotherapy. A positive response to the inclusion of TCM in the PMR residency curriculum was supported by 90% of the participants.Conclusion: Concerning the use of TCM methods, scientific basis and patient safety are important to physicians.
