Many studies have been conducted in health care settings with regards to CAM use among patients. However, information regarding CAM use among patients in the emergency department (ED) is scarce. The aim of this review was to conduct a systematic review of published studies with regards to CAM use among the ED patients. Literature search of published studies from inception to September 2015 was conducted using PubMed and manual search of reference list. Seventeen studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The average prevalence rate of CAM use among ED patients across the studies was 39.9% and a range of 11.9% to 68.1%. Herbal therapy was the sub-modality of CAM most commonly used and frequently implicated in CAM-related ED visits. Higher education, age, female gender, religious affiliation and chronic diseases were the most frequent factors associated with CAM use among the ED patients. Over 80% of the ED physicians did not ask the patients about the CAM therapy. Similarly, 80% of the ED patients were ready to disclose CAM therapy to the ED physician. The prevalence rate of CAM use among ED patients is high and is growing with the current increasing popularity, and it has been a reason for some ED visits. There is a need for the health care professionals to receive training and always ask the patients about CAM therapy to enable them provide appropriate medical care and prevent CAM-related adverse events.
