SummaryAs members of the Association of Palliative Care CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) Task Group we set ourselves two tasks: the task of exploring different facets of holistic care relevant to the palliative care setting and then to review outcome measures that might assist in researching complex interventions such as complementary therapies. Complementary therapies often embrace holistic philosophy where mind and body are connected and the complexity of symptoms acknowledged. These holistic or complex interventions within the palliative care setting are important to research and research holistically. We therefore gathered together outcome measures in the areas of hope, spirituality, symptom control, self-concept, the therapeutic consultation and dignity which would assist in the design of clinical trials of complementary therapies in the palliative care setting.
