Despite the popularity and widespread practice of complementary/alternative medicine (CAM), researchers may face problems accruing patients to randomized clinical trials, considered the gold standard of biomedical research. Strict exclusion criteria and barriers to participation may limit accrual. Inadequate numbers of subjects decrease the ability of studies to detect an effect that exists and generalize their findings. This article describes the recruitment experience of a CAM trial, details reasons for non-participation, and contrasts participants and non-participants on demographic, clinical, and treatment-related variables.
