Abstract :
This article aims to offer an overview of the
therapeutic effectiveness of homeopathy in managing
osteoarthritis of the knee joint. The analysis focuses on
comparing homeopathic treatments for osteoarthritis
(OA) with placebos or alternative treatments through
randomized clinical trials. The selected trials were
identified through systematic database searches and
manual reference list tracking. The review includes
information on outcomes, statistical significance,
comparisons with placebos or alternative treatments,
and side effects. Four trials have been included in this
review, demonstrating that homeopathy is effective in
pain management for knee osteoarthritis. One study
even suggests that homeopathy can serve as a substitute,
showing comparable effectiveness to NSAIDs. In
conclusion, homeopathic treatment can be considered for
pain management in knee osteoarthritis, but further
research with larger participant numbers is necessary to
strengthen statistical evidence.
