CAM Management of Peripheral Arterial Occlusive Disease (PAOD): A Case Report

Abstract

Peripheral Arterial occlusive Disease is one among many conditions where a dependable cure is still elusive. Despite of availability of various treatment options on medical and surgical grounds, these many options does not with stand to the complexity, generalization and rapid progression inherent to the disease. Cost of diagnosis and cost of therapy also acts as a constraint in its quick management. In these conditions, any CAM approach addressing to all these intricacies of PAOD is a welcoming thought. We tried to intervene with CAM therapy in a patient diagnosed as having PAOD. The clinical improvements observed in this single case are warranting for more serious studies to define the role of CAM in these conditions.
