Background
Homoeopathy is widely used, but specific effects of homoeopathic remedies seem implausible. Bias in
the conduct and reporting of trials is a possible explanation for positive findings of trials of both homoeopathy and
conventional medicine. We analysed trials of homoeopathy and conventional medicine and estimated treatment
effects in trials least likely to be affected by bias.

Methods
Placebo-controlled trials of homoeopathy were identified by a comprehensive literature search, which
covered 19 electronic databases, reference lists of relevant papers, and contacts with experts. Trials in conventional
medicine matched to homoeopathy trials for disorder and type of outcome were randomly selected from the
Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (issue 1, 2003). Data were extracted in duplicate and outcomes coded so that
odds ratios below 1 indicated benefit. Trials described as double-blind, with adequate randomisation, were assumed
to be of higher methodological quality. Bias effects were examined in funnel plots and meta-regression models.

Findings
110 homoeopathy trials and 110 matched conventional-medicine trials were analysed. The median study
size was 65 participants (range ten to 1573). 21 homoeopathy trials (19%) and nine (8%) conventional-medicine trials
were of higher quality. In both groups, smaller trials and those of lower quality showed more beneficial treatment
effects than larger and higher-quality trials. When the analysis was restricted to large trials of higher quality, the odds
ratio was 0·88 (95% CI 0·65–1·19) for homoeopathy (eight trials) and 0·58 (0·39–0·85) for conventional medicine
(six trials).

Interpretation
Biases are present in placebo-controlled trials of both homoeopathy and conventional medicine. When
account was taken for these biases in the analysis, there was weak evidence for a specific effect of homoeopathic
remedies, but strong evidence for specific effects of conventional interventions. This finding is compatible with the
notion that the clinical effects of homoeopathy are placebo effects.
