This worldwide scoping review aims to comprehensively explore the utilization of Complementary, Alternative and Integrative Medicine (CAIM) in children with epilepsy. Epilepsy, a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures, presents challenges in management and treatment. CAIM offers a diverse range of therapeutic options beyond conventional medicine, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, dietary interventions, and mind-body practices. Understanding the global landscape of CAIM use in pediatric epilepsy is crucial for healthcare providers, policymakers, and caregivers to make informed decisions about treatment strategies. Through a systematic review of literature, this paper synthesizes current evidence, identifies gaps in research, and discusses implications for clinical practice and future research directions.
