Forskningen vid Vidarkliniken inleddes 1997 med ett projekt under ledning av professor Elisabeth Hamrin, som utvärderade effekten av vården för kvinnor med bröstcancer på Vidarkliniken jämfört med dem som enbart fått konventionell vård. Sedan dess har flera forskningsprojekt genomförts eller pågår inom särskilt nedanstående områden – allegi hos barn, cancer, hälsoekonomin och vårdvetenskap.
2010 startades I C – The Integrative Care Science Center som en unik mötesplats om komplementär, alternativ och integrativ vård för hälso- och sjukvården.
Här presenteras ett urval av publicerade artiklar från svensk forskning.
