A review
article published in a British medical journal evaluated 107 controlled
trials performed between 1986 and 1990. Eighty-one of these studies showed
that homeopathic medicines had greater effect than placebo in the treatment
of headache, respiratory infections, diseases of the digestive tract,
ankle sprain, post operative infection and other health related disorders.
Studies have been published in both The Lancet and The British
Journal of Clinical Pharmacology noting the effectiveness of homeopathy
on rheumatoid arthritis. In a double blind study of homeopathic medicines
on influenza, the homeopathic medicine showed resolution of symptoms in
twice as many patients within 48 hours as did placebo according to a report
in The British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. Other studies
have shown improvement in the symptoms of hay fever, neurologic pain following
tooth extraction, Parkinson's disease, bronchitis, sinusitis, migraines,
influenza, and motion sickness.
