A growing number of physicians in everyday practice use homoeopathy not as an alternative but rather as a supplementation to conventional medicine. A whole number of trials concerning both basic and clinical research have given evidence of the efficacy of homoeopathy and of the way it works. Nevertheless, in order to draw definite conclusions, the methodological quality of the trials will have to be improved. The evidence accumulated so far justifies the planning of further studies in collaboration between homoeopathic practitioners and clinicians. In order to achieve relevant results further studies have to be designed according to the principles of homoeopathy, especially the individual prescription of remedies.
