Irritable Bowel Syndrome and homeopathic treatment

A three-armed trial was conducted in the UK in which three forms of treatment for irritable bowel syndrome were compared:  usual care, homeopathic treatment plus usual care, and supportive listening plus usual care.  By the end of the 26 weeks there was a significant difference in favour of homeopathic treatment plus usual care, in comparison to usual care alone.  62.5 percent of patients in the homeopathic treatment arm achieved a clinically relevant change in irritable bowl symptom severity -- compared to 25.0 percent of those in the usual care arm.
