Introduction: Integrating complementary and alternative medicine with modern medical practices has gained significant popularity in treating various diseases. This trend is particularly prevalent in Eastern countries like Iran, which boast a rich history of traditional medicine and cultural heritage in healthcare. This study aimed to systematically review the utilization of complementary medicine and the factors influencing it in Iran. Method: The published articles on the factors affecting complementary medicine were found through a systematic search and using related keywords in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, Magiran, and SID databases until 2024, according to the PRISMA guidelines. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Among 2165 articles indexed in the databases, 43 were extracted. Results: Most included studies were descriptive-cross-sectional, with data collected via questionnaires and interviews. Herbal medicine was the most used therapy, especially among patients with MS (97.3%), diabetes (97.7%), and gastrointestinal diseases (100%). Prayer therapy was common in cancer (86.1%) and cardiovascular patients (94.2%), while cupping was notable in AIDS patients (52%). Research was primarily conducted in hospitals like Shiraz, Tehran, and Isfahan. Most patients in the included studies do not disclose their use of complementary medicine due to a lack of transparency in the doctor-patient relationship. Conclusion: This review highlights the widespread use of complementary medicine in Iran, mainly herbal medicine and prayer therapy, across various patient groups. It emphasizes the need for better physician-patient communication and transparency to integrate complementary medicine with modern healthcare practices safely. | ||
