      Introduction: The safety of health care is increasingly prominent concern of the public, applying to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as well as conventional treatment. In 2009, a group of academic and clinical CAM researchers held a workshop to discuss the constraints and priorities of research into CAM safety. This group here report their discussions, and offer collaboration with ...

    • Reflexology for acute rhinosinusitis – Results from a blinded, early-phase comparative trial 

      Norheim, Arne Johan; Fønnebø, Vinjar; Lindeland, John Petter; Varpe, Terje; Bigset, Catarina; Stub, Trine; Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-06)
      Background - Reflexology is commonly used as an adjunct to conventional treatment by patients with respiratory tract infections. The effect of reflexology needs to be tested in a full-scale randomized controlled study. Small early-phase trials can give an indication on whether full-size clinical trials are warranted. The objective of this study is to determine whether the study design is feasible ...

      Borud, Einar Kristian; Nakstad, Espen Rostrup; Håberg, Siri Eldevik; Lind, Andreas; Fadum, Elin Anita; Taxt, Arne Michael; Steens, Anneke; Gjein, Gaute Eriksen; Sunde, Magne Wiken; Iversen, Petter; Svanevik, Marius; Ahmad, Babar Mushtaq; Waldow, Thomas; Norheim, Arne Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-15)
      <i>Background</i> - Accurate estimates of SARS-CoV-2 infection in different population groups are important for the health authorities. In Norway, public infection control measures have successfully curbed the pandemic. However, military training and service are incompatible with these measures; therefore extended infection control measures were implemented in the Norwegian Armed Forces. We aimed ...

    • Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Among Patients: Classification Criteria Determine Level of Use 

      Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter; Fønnebø, Vinjar; Norheim, Arne Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008)
      Background and objectives: Self-reported use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among patients varies widely between studies, possibly because the definition of a CAM user is not comparable. This makes it difficult to compare studies. The aim of this study is to present a six-level model for classifying patients' reported exposure to CAM. Prayer, physical exercise, special diets, ...

    • Variability in peripheral rewarming after cold stress among 255 healthy Norwegian army conscripts assessed by dynamic infrared thermography 

      Norheim, Arne Johan; Borud, Einar Kristian; Wilsgaard, Tom; DeWeerd, Louis; Mercer, James (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-16)
      Exposure to cold climate is an inevitable consequence of military training in Norway. Adequate peripheral microcirculation in the extremities is important to maintain temperature, and to protect against freezing cold injuries. The aim of this study was to investigate the variability in skin rewarming ability. The study subjects consisted of 260 healthy Norwegian army conscripts, following a mild ...

    • Yersinia enterocolitica: A Follow-up of the Outbreak in the Norwegian Armed Forces in 2014 

      Borud, Einar Kristian; Håberg, Siri Eldevik; Norheim, Arne Johan; Strand, Leif Åge; Fadum, Elin Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-28)

YE is usually transmitted via food, and the gastrointestinal disease caused by the bacterium is considered a public health problem in several countries. Common symptoms of YE gastroenteritis are abdominal pain, ...
