Introduction / full article

Opioid Withdrawal

ID 2050

Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

Mugwort (Artemisa Vulgaris) [1, 2, 3, 4]:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It has been proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has been discounted due life-threatening side effects

Recommendation: No recommendation (There is insufficient evidence to support claims that mugwart helps to treat opioid addiction. More research is needed.)

Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
