Adverse effects in homeopathy. A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies

Trine Stub et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on adverse effects and homeopathic aggravations in homeopathy. The results showed that adverse effects of homeopathic remedies were consistently reported in observational studies, while homeopathic aggravations were less documented. Patients receiving conventional medicine and other complementary therapies had a higher proportion of adverse effects compared to those receiving homeopathy. A standardized reporting system for adverse effects in homeopathic studies is necessary for future risk assessments.
