Published: 2018 ยท Modality: Homeopathy

Study summary

A multi-center study by Klein Laansma C.T. across the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany involving 60 people with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).

What is commonly claimed

Multi-national clinical trials indicate no difference between usual care and adjunctive homeopathy for PMS symptoms.

What the study actually found

After 4 months, the relative mean change in diaries and scores in the UC + Homeopathy group was significantly better than in the usual care group alone.

Key findings

  • Superior outcomes in integrative care (UC + HT) for PMS.
  • Multi-center validation across three European nations.
  • Consistent improvement in patient-reported symptom diaries.
