Sequel to your comments on our manuscript titled “PREVALENCE AND PATTERN OF COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN AMONG PEASANT FARMERS IN A RURAL COMMUNITY IN SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA”, I hereby respond that all the reviewers’ comments were noted and addressed appropriately. Specifically, based on the suggestion of one of the reviewers, the title was recast as” PREVALENCE AND MODES OF COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE USE AMONG PEASANT FARMERS WITH MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN IN A RURAL COMMUNITY IN SOUTH-WESTERN NIGERIA”. The abstract was modified to reflect the changes made in title as shown in the ‘objective section’. The result section of the abstract was also re-structured for more clarity.
