Research and scientific dialogue

At the Hippocratic Centre of Classical Homeopathy we consider it important for students and practitioners to engage with the current research literature on homeopathy.

For this reason, this section brings together and presents selected scientific publications, studies and literature reviews from Greece and abroad, to inform, to support study and to cultivate scientific thinking.

International research on homeopathy spans different fields and research approaches.

This section hosts publications on, among other things, clinical research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, basic and laboratory research, as well as studies on education and clinical practice.

Presenting this literature aims to give access to scientific sources and to encourage a critical study of the available research data.

The four publications below are demo entries, chosen to show the layout of this page.

Clinical research

Homeopathic treatment of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled crossover trial

Authors: Frei H, Everts R, von Ammon K, Kaufmann F, Walther D, Hsu-Schmitz SF, et al.

European Journal of Pediatrics · 2005 · 164: 758–767

Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial

The trial tested whether individualised homeopathic treatment differs from placebo in children aged 6–16 with ADHD. After an open-label phase to find the suitable remedy, 62 children who had responded entered a double-blind crossover phase. Parents’ ratings on the Conners’ Global Index were significantly lower while the children took the homeopathic remedy than while they took placebo. The authors conclude that the trial suggests evidence of the efficacy of homeopathy, particularly for behavioural and cognitive functions.
