Over a 20-year periodfrom 2002 to 2022U.S. adults not only increased their overall use of complementary health approaches but were also more likely to use complementary health approaches specifically for managing pain. The findings come from a new analysis by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). The research was funded by NCCIH and recently published inJAMA.

The analysis used data collected from the 2002, 2012, and 2022 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to evaluate changes in the U.S. adult use of seven complementary health approaches: yoga, meditation, massage therapy, chiropractic care, acupuncture, naturopathy, and guided imagery/progressive muscle relaxation. The NHIS is a nationally representative household survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions National Center for Health Statistics.
