Research

Selected scientific publications, studies and reviews from Greece and abroad.

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.

Homeopathic medical practice: Long-term results of a cohort study with 3981 patients

Authors: Witt CM, Lüdtke R, Baur R, Willich SN

BMC Public Health · 2005 · 5: 115

Prospective, multicentre cohort study

The study followed 3,981 patients (2,851 adults and 1,130 children) of 103 physicians specialised in homeopathy in Germany and Switzerland for two years, under everyday practice conditions. 97% of the diagnoses were chronic conditions. Disease severity as rated by the patients on a 0–10 scale fell from 6.2 to 3.0 in adults and from 6.1 to 2.2 in children. The authors note that, because patients could also receive conventional treatment, the improvement cannot be attributed to homeopathy alone.
