Ethics is a moral principle that governs a system. Research ethics may be defined as doing what is morally and legally right in research. Despite dealing with human beings, homoeopathy research deals with human clinical, pre-clinical (drug proving) trials, preclinical animal studies, veterinary studies and plant studies that demand varied ethical strategies. The importance of ethics in medical research is mandated to avoid adverse events before, during and after the trials. Ethics in medical practice and medical research is based on Nuremberg's Code and Declaration of Helsinki. The two major guidelines in the homoeopathic medical research publications are Reporting data on Homeopathic treatments (RedHot): A supplement to Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials (CONSORT) for clinical trials and Reporting Experiments in Homeopathic Basic Research (REHBaR). This article discusses the evolution of ethics in medical research, principles of ethics, components to be considered pre-trial, during and post-trial. The evolution of strategies based on the principles of ethics in medical research is correlated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
