Abstract

The integration of apitherapy into modern medicine requires robust documentation and communication of its clinical efficacy. This paper addresses the need for standardized protocols to guide case studies in apitherapy, ensuring credibility and comparability across treatments. By outlining essential parameters for case documentation—including patient history, experimental conditions, product characterization, and evaluation criteria—this framework aims to enhance the quality and acceptance of alternative treatments. The proposed methodology aligns with established guidelines from organizations like the Joanna Briggs Institute and Cochrane, facilitating the adoption of a common language in integrative medicine. Standardized protocols will support practitioners in demonstrating the efficacy of apitherapy while adhering to ethical and regulatory standards. Ultimately, these measures aim to bridge the gap between anecdotal evidence and scientific validation, fostering greater trust and integration of apitherapy within conventional medical practice.
