About Us

The PROCAIM Network is a centralized data collection and information system that brings together a broad and heterogeneous population of patients, participants in health enhancement programs, clinicians, and academic researchers. The purposes of this network are (1) to evaluate integrative medicine including pharmacologic, psychologic, and complementary and alternative interventions through participant-reported outcome assessments and (2) to provide a forum for the exchange of relevant clinical information and recent research findings. Our overall mission is to advance understanding of the broad range of mind/body and alternative therapies and the treatment of a variety of stress-related conditions with overlapping symptoms.

PROCAIM was developed under a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine to UCLA researchers to study the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies, and the interactions among stress and coping, pain, and treatment outcomes.

We are currently inviting people with fibromyalgia, IBS, interstitial cystitis, chronic pain, and other chronic and recurring conditions to sign up and participate in a year-long Internet-based survey.

This is a web-based study composed of surveys that will recur at intervals over 1 year!
