The placebo effect and homeopathy

Marcus Z. Teixeira, Cristina H.F.F. Guedes, Patrícia V. Barreto and Mílton
A. Martins

 

Background - Like other forms of medicine, including Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (CAM), homeopathy elicits expectations in patients. The
physician–patient relationship, personal and comprehensive treatment and
lack of adverse effects are elements in creating positive expectations.
Other elements may be associated with negative expectations.

Methods - We conducted a systematic literature review on placebo and nocebo
effects in acupuncture and homeopathy using Medline.

Results - Findings on the psychophysiological and neuromediating mechanisms
of the placebo–nocebo phenomenon are reviewed. Studies of these effects
reveal how expectations and unconscious conditioning can be measured by
imaging and EEG methods. They result in significant, non-specific
therapeutic effects, which may confuse the evaluation of the specific
therapeutic effects treatment, hampering selection of the simillimum.

Conclusions - Directions for future research on non-specific therapeutic
effects of homeopathy to improve clinical practice and clinical research are
discussed.
