This educational article explores the potential intersection of BCIs and traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine (TCIM). BCIs have shown promise in enhancing mind-body practices such as meditation, while their integration with energy-based therapies may offer novel insights and measurable outcomes. Emerging advancements, including artificial intelligence-enhanced BCIs, hold potential for improving personalization and expanding the therapeutic efficacy of TCIM interventions. Despite these opportunities, integrating BCIs with TCIM presents considerable ethical, cultural, and practical challenges. Concerns related to informed consent, cultural sensitivity, data privacy, accessibility, and regulatory frameworks must be addressed to ensure responsible implementation. Interdisciplinary collaboration among relevant stakeholders, including TCIM and conventional practitioners, researchers, and policymakers among other relevant stakeholders is crucial for developing integrative healthcare models that balance innovation with patient safety and respect for diverse healing traditions. Future directions include expanding evidence bases to validate TCIM practices through BCI-enhanced research, fostering equitable access to neurotechnological advancements, and promoting global ethical guidelines to navigate complex sociocultural dynamics. BCIs have the potential to revolutionize TCIM, offering novel solutions for complex health challenges and fostering a more inclusive, integrative approach to healthcare, provided that they are utilized responsibly and ethically.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13644,"journal":{"name":"Integrative Medicine Research","volume":"14 2","pages":"Article 101142"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143833571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
