Abstract

Traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) use is common in both in adult and pediatric oncology worldwide. Quranotherapy, a type of T&CM, is also widely used by cancer patients and their parents/caregivers. A limited number of studies have shown that Quranotherapy is beneficial in improving adjustment and in reducing pain and anxiety in children with cancer.
