Science of Homeopathy Scientific Studies Approximately 400 Publications demonstrate therapeutic efficacy of homeopathic drugs
No less than 98 studies (25%) were indexed in Medline between 1998 and 2001 alone, clearly indicating researchers’ increasing interest in homeopathy.
We have excluded from our review studies which fail to comply with validated operational protocols; we relied in particular on the “Guidelines on planning, conduct and evaluation of multicentric studies” published in the German Official Federal Gazette No. 299, Vol. 4, 12, 1998.
The exclusion criteria were consequently as follows:
1) open studies (only the global efficacy of homeopathy can be considered with
this method, not the effect of each individual drug)
2) retrospective studies (which do not involve comparison with homogeneous
groups)
3) studies in which a number of therapeutic techniques were associated
4) lack of homogeneity of the disorder among groups and within the same group
5) small number of patients recruited
6) defects in methodological procedure.
When these exclusion criteria were applied, the number of publications was reduced to approximately 200. We therefore examined only placebo-controlled trials and trials which compared a homeopathic medicine with the corresponding allopathic reference drug, some of which have been published in major international non-homeopathic journals such as the Lancet, Cancer, the British Medical Journal, the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, etc. (Table 2).

Approximately 400 Publications demonstrate therapeutic efficacy of homeopathic drugs

Approximately 400 publications obtainable from international data bases (Medline, Embase, Biosis, the British Library, Stock Alert Service, SIGLE, Amed, etc.) which relate to controlled clinical trials of nosographically defined disorders (accounting for approx. 80% of the homeopathy studies conducted up to December 2001) demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of the homeopathic drug tested.
