A project that will evaluate the acceptability and the comparative effectiveness of adjunctive treatment provided by homeopaths for patients with mild to moderate depression is underway.
The final outcomes of the project will aim to contribute to the knowledge base used to determine the appropriateness of offering homeopathy as an adjunct for patients suffering from depression. You can read more about this research, and even contribute online.
Overview:
This project is conceived and led by Petter Viksveen. He will be carrying out this project as part of his PhD studentship at the University of Sheffield, under the supervision of Dr. Clare Relton and Prof. Jon Nicholl. The project began in November 2013.
The current plan includes:
- To review the literature on homeopathy in depression – a systematic literature review, including a review of patients’ self-reported experiences.
- To carry out a pragmatic randomised controlled trial to assess homeopathy as an adjunct to usual care in self-reported depression.
- To investigate patients’ experience through a qualitative study. [ http://www.homeoinst.org ]
Only last month, at the South Delhi Homoeopathic Associaltion, we held the 2 Day National Level Homoeopathic Conference, as we do each year, and this year’s theme was ” CRACKING THE ANXIETY DISORDER”. WE can share the print material, and also of the presentations that were made, and are readily available. Some of these are not available at the moment, because they were with the authors themselves. Please let me know, as to how this can be done. Our annual programme is known as “KENT MEMORIAL LECTURES”
