Randomized Control Comparing Outcomes of Homeopathic and Conventional Therapy of Whiplash
Homœopathic Links 2012; 25(1): 50-55 | DOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1298204
51 patients have been triaged for acute whiplash injury and randomized to receive conventional or nonconventional therapy. The conventional therapy group A (n = 27) received diclofenac + tinazidine for 15 days. The complementary therapy group B (n = 24) received Homeopathic Remedies Hypericum perforatum and Ribes nigrum. A score was developed to evaluate the therapeutic control of pain and neurologic symptoms.
RESULTS:
Statistical analysis revealed a significant improvement of post-acute outcome in the B-group patients and a significant increase of adverse effects in the A-group, while no differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the EMG evaluation, use of additional therapies, and incidence of LWS. It was concluded that nonconventional therapies offer a valid aid in treating whiplash injury, even in the presence of neurologic symptoms.
