Homoeopathic medicine test according to the crossover design: from theory to practice

Author(s): VAN, H. , R, JANSEN, G., DICKE, M.

Abstract: An homoeopathic pathogenic trial (HPT, proving) was carried out using a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover method. The name of the medicine was also unknown to the volunteers. A number of subjects withdrew at the last minute, leading to an unbalanced randomisation. A strong period effect was observed, which makes results difficult to interpret. Most subjects were able to guess correctly which treatment was active and which placebo.
