The clinical effect of homeopathy

This proves that homeopathy has a beneficial action beyond the placebo effect

Starting point :

Researchers have identified clinical studies (randomised controlled trials) carried out by different research teams across the world and pertaining to homeopathy. The common point of these studies was comparing the effectiveness of an individualised homeopathic treatment with that of a placebo in different medical specialities (for example in neurology, dermatology, virology, etc.).

 

 

Analysis :

Step 1

After a selection step, the evaluation focused on 22 clinical trials that satisfied demanding quality criteria.

Step 2

The researchers then carried out a statistical analysis of all the data from these 22 trials: this is called a meta-analysis.

 

Result :

This meta-analysis, one of the most comprehensive and recent ones on this subject, showed that by analysing the highest quality controlled randomised trials, homeopathic medicines prescribed during an individualised treatment have a 1.5 to 2 times greater probability of having a beneficial effect than the placebo1.
