Objectives: The use of complementary and alternative medicine has increased over the past decade. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether homeopathy influenced global health status and subjective wellbeing when used as an adjunct to conventional cancer therapy.
Design: In this pragmatic randomized controlled trial, 410 patients, who were treated by standard anti-neoplastic therapy, were randomized to receive or not receive classical homeopathic adjunctive therapy in addition to standard therapy. The study took place at the Medical University Vienna, Department of Medicine I, Clinical Division of Oncology.
Main outcome measures: The main outcome measures were global health status and subjective wellbeing as assessed by the patients. At each of three visits (one baseline, two follow-up visits), patients filled in two different questionnaires.
Conclusion: Results suggest that the global health status and subjective wellbeing of cancer patients improve significantly when adjunct classical homeopathic treatment is administered in addition to conventional therapy.
Participants: The charts of 53 patients were randomly sampled for later abstraction and were included in the study. They were admitted between August 2010 and June 2014 for first-time visits and took part in at least one follow-up visit during the six months after the intervention.
Outcome measures: A standardized tool was used to abstract the data from patients' charts. After exclusions and losses to follow-up, data from 40 charts were analyzed. The actual number of visits after the initial visit that was included in the analysis varied from one to five. The current status of up to five diagnoses or problems were tracked for each patient and each visit as was the number of allopathic medications in use and the overall trajectory based on classical homeopathic analysis, evaluating whether the patient was better, worse, or unchanged overall.
Results: The charts of 27 patients demonstrated overall improvement; the charts of 12 patients demonstrated no overall change or a worsening of problems or symptoms. The difference between the improved and the nonimproved groups of participants postintervention were significant (P = .0026). Data also demonstrated a significant reduction in the use of allopathic medication and an increase in the number of improved individual conditions or diagnoses (P < .05).
Conclusions: The current study of the treatment experience of 40 persons with a variety of medical conditions found that a majority of patients, when their charts were analyzed according to specific criteria, experienced improvements while undergoing classical homeopathic treatment. The reasons for these improvements can't be determined from available data, but the results do pose important questions about how humans heal. While other factors might account for this result, it's difficult to fully dismiss the idea that homeopathic medicine may have had some impact on observed results.
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unprecedented challenge to global health. Classical homeopathy may have a role to play in alleviating this burden. The objective of this study was to curate data on the treatment effect of classical homeopathy for COVID-19 in a real-world scenario to guide future scientific investigations.
This study suggests that classical homeopathy was associated with improvement in COVID-19, including severe cases. Despite limitations from study design and data sources, our findings should prompt further studies on the role of classical homeopathy in the management of COVID-19.
With a background of diversity in the comprehension and application of homeopathic principles, we sought to curate data on cases treated with classical homeopathy. Our aim was to bring clarity in terms of the approach and to have sound data to plan future studies and inform policymakers on using classical homeopathy in COVID-19 treatment. The secondary objectives were to identify the remedies that helped, the main symptoms that were presented and the factors associated with the disease severity.
This was a retrospective observational study. We retrospectively investigated cases already treated by homeopaths, and where patients had volunteered to take classical homeopathy for the COVID-19 symptoms. No control group observation was included. The process of identification, recruitment and inclusion of cases is represented in Figure 1.
We considered patients treated with classical homeopathy either (i) stand-alone or (ii) combined with conventional therapy for COVID-19 according to the provisions in each country. We did not distinguish the two types at this point. Patients were followed up until they were free of symptoms, or a negative PCR test was available.
This study was approved by the Centre For Classical Homeopathy Institutional Ethics Committee (PP/AS/01/19-20). The informed consent was waivered as the data was gathered after anonymising the information at source. The homeopaths sent the data without any patient identifying features. The patients had volunteered for classical homeopathy during the episodes, most of the time online or by telephone due to movement restriction imposed at that time. The treatment was mostly adjuvant, and no claim was made as an alternative to conventional medicine, by any of the homeopaths. The investigators had no direct contact with the patients.
Fever was the most common symptom at presentation, with 273 (74.4%) patients presenting with fever. Forty-nine patients directly presented with pneumonia, detected on radiological imaging. Where fever was absent, the main symptoms at presentation were cough in 26 cases, weakness in 7 cases, anosmia/ageusia in 6 cases and headache in 6 cases (Fig 5).
Age and sex: Sex was not associated with any significant difference in response to treatment. It was, however, observed that the Pearson correlation coefficient for age was -0.146 (P
Using the insights from the correlational analyses, a multinomial logistic regression model was constructed for the nominal data with improvement status as the dependent variable, and the significantly correlated variables, such as the number of remedies, presence of fever and disease severity, as independent variables to predict improvement status. The model fitting criteria value was 57.664. The significance value was less than 0.01, indicating that the final model fit well. The goodness of fit for the model was calculated, and the Pearson value was 20.679 (p>0.05). The significance value was 0.541 (>0.05), thus indicating that the model was an adequate fit. The pseudo-R square values were calculated for the regression model. The Nagelkerke value was 0.311, which means only 31.1% change in improvement status could be attributed to the number of remedies, presence of fever and disease severity. Therefore, the studied independent variables (number of remedies, presence of fever, and disease severity) are not sufficient to predict improvement status.
Many databases have been created and are actively collecting data on the new pandemic.17 There are also many reports on the use of traditional and complementary medicine for COVID-19, including homeopathy.18,19 India has pioneered many research projects on both prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19 with homeopathy.20 However, a database dedicated to this therapy is novel and will go a long way in providing material for investigation in the future.
The number of homeopathic remedies required was strongly correlated with improvement (Table 2). This is in keeping with the homeopathic principles of levels of health.27 Healthier patients present with stronger and clearer symptoms for homeopathic prescription, and their response is quick and in the right direction. Less healthy patients require a few more remedies in the right sequence to bring them up to the same level of efficient response. If a homeopath makes mistakes in identifying the remedy, the response is delayed, and the number of remedies required will also increase. In either case, improvement is inversely correlated to the number of remedies required.27
In this project, the biggest advantage was the uniformity of practice among the homeopaths, despite practicing in different geographical regions. This is of importance because there are no strict rules governing the adherence of practitioners to the established scientific principles of homeopathy. Differences in practice approach, dissimilar to the practice approach in conventional medicine, can change the outcome of treatment in homeopathy. There is a definition of what is considered true improvement when rules are adhered to. If these rules are not followed, there is no direction for a physician and the interpretation of results can be fraught with confounders and biases. In this study, all the practitioners were Diplomates of a specific diploma program, and they adhere to the rules as described above. If data was gathered from disparate practice methods, the data could not be uniform or reproducible.
In this database, not enough information was available regarding the comorbidities in the patients. Hence, we could not analyze the influence of comorbidities on the clinical outcome. This lack of complete information is attributable to telephone consultations, which accounted for the majority of consultations during COVID lockdowns. It will be essential to collect this information for future cases, as studies have shown that comorbidities have an adverse effect on improvement in COVID patients,5 and it will be necessary to evaluate this in any future homeopathic treatment scenarios.
