Homeopathy and Ophthalmology
Behrens-Baumann W.
Universitätsaugenklinik, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität, Magdeburg
Objective: To evaluate the results of homeopathy and placebo in
general and in ophthalmology
Methods: The scientific literature of the last 10 years was screened
using Medline, Pubmed, Drugs, GratefulMed and the Cochrane Database of
Systematic Reviews. In addition, original publications were studied.
Results: In most cases the results of homeopathy and placebo effects
are similar. Poor designed studies had the tendency for positive results
of homeopathy compared to placebo and studies with good design vice versa.
Metaanalyses are often insufficient in collecting studies without comparable
parameters.
Conclusion: Homeopathic and placebo drugs are effective and powerful
using the important psychological way. A direct somatic effect is not
possible (Avogadro's number). No study with a significant effect of homeopathy
compared to placebo has been confirmed by an independent other scientific
group.
