DescriptionGrantsExpenses
RESEARCH PROGRAM The Pine Street Foundation conducts meta-analyses and clinical trials in collaboration with researchers from around the world. Meta-analysis is a method of systematically selecting relevant primary research, appraising its quality, and synthesizing the results to arrive at a summary conclusion. In our meta-analysis program, we systematically review past clinical trials to evaluate and substantiate the effectiveness of integrative treatment protocols for a wide range of illnesses. Most recently, our reviews have focused on integrative treatments for some of the most common forms of cancer where conventional treatments have had more limited success.RESEARCH ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN 2016:Maurer, M., et al.
