Evidence summaries

Homeopathy

There is no evidence of effectiveness to support the use of homeopathy as a treatment for any specific condition. Level of evidence: "D"

A technology assessment report 1 was abstracted in the Health Technology Assessment Database. There is currently insufficient evidence of effectiveness either to recommend homeopathy as a treatment for any specific condition, or to warrant significant changes in the current provision of homeopathy. The evidence needs to be interpreted with caution. Many of the areas that have been researched are not representative of the conditions that homeopathic practitioners usually treat. Additionally, all conclusions should be considered together with the methodological problems of the research.
