Abstract
We report an outcome study concerning patients treated by homeopathic medicine at the Tunbridge Wells Homoeopathic Hospital for the whole of 1997. The study aimed to assess: (a) the range of diagnoses presented by patients, and (b) patients’ own impressions of benefit. 1372 questionnaires were completed by patients after consultations to record their impressions of the effects of homeopathic treatment. Patients were asked to score their responses on a +3 to −3 scale. The three main diagnostic groups were, dermatology, musculo-skeletal disorders, and malignant disease, especially carcinoma of the breast. Overall, 74% of patients recorded positive benefits, with 55% recording scores of +3 or +2.
