Prevalence and Likelihood Ratio of Six Objective Signs among Good Responders to Natrum muriaticum: Multi-centre Observational Assessment.

Background:  The reliability of homeopathic prescriptions may increase through resource to objective signs and guiding symptoms with significant positive likelihood ratio (LR). We estimated LR for six objective signs attributed to the homeopathic medicine ().

Methods:  In this multi-centre observational assessment, we investigated the prevalence of six signs in the general patient population and among good responders to in daily homeopathic practice.

Data Collection during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Learning from Experience, Resulting in a Bayesian Repertory.

Background: A novel pandemic disease offered the opportunity to create new, disease-specific, symptom rubrics for the homeopathic repertory.

Objective: The aim of this study was to discover the relationship between specific symptoms and specific medicines, especially of symptoms occurring frequently in this disease.

Materials And Methods: Worldwide collection of data in all possible formats by various parties was coordinated by the Liga Medicorum Homeopathica Internationalis.

What do homeopathic doctors think of vaccines? An international online survey.

Background And Objectives: Parental refusal to vaccinate is a cause of serious concern. Use of homeopathy is believed to be a relevant reason for parents to refuse to vaccinate. However, vaccination is one of the main gaps dividing between medically qualified or not homeopathic practitioners.

Prevalence and likelihood ratio of symptoms in patients with good therapeutic response to Lycopodium clavatum. A retrospective study.

Background: Assessment of the likelihood ratio (LR) of symptoms has been proposed as a rational means for detecting indicators to homeopathic medicines.

Aims: To investigate the prevalence and LR of symptoms commonly attributed to the homeopathic medicine Lycopodium clavatum (Lyc). Secondarily, to answer the question if experienced homeopaths could intuitively infer which the main symptoms of this medicine are.

Prospective observational study of 42 patients with atopic dermatitis treated with homeopathic medicines.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a highly prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease which usually develops during childhood. Despite being a condition frequently treated with homeopathy, the evidence is still insufficient to define homeopathic treatment's efficacy and the best therapeutic strategies.

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment of AD in a general homeopathic practice setting.
