To illustrate the novelties in integrative and complementary medicine in 2021, the authors present a selection of six articles. One of them is specifically related to COVID-19. The other articles deal with themes that are always relevant and where complementary approaches represent a real added value. Two articles focus on low back pain, a common problem in primary care medicine. The others examine acupuncture in the oncological context, the use of therapeutic suggestions in an operative context, and Tai Chi. The authors thus provide an overview of the range of possible complementary therapeutic approaches that are increasingly supported by evidence, inviting them to be better integrated into clinical practice.
