“…15 MYMOP-2 scale is routinely used in studies of long-term conditions. 22,23 In this study, patients were asked to volunteer the most troublesome symptom associated with their condition, a problem related to activity and their overall well-being on a seven-point numerical rating scale. It was found that each and every patient shown improvement in all three domains and the improvements were statistically significant after 6 weeks of treatment.…”

Background Homoeopathy is a system of therapeutics which has a holistic approach towards diseased individual. Prescription in homoeopathy is based on individualisation which can be achieved in various ways. Keynote method is one of such various ways of prescription which needs to be validated by documentation of adequate and valid evidences in its favour. Methods This article presents a series of 15 consecutive cases in which prescriptions were made on the basis of keynote. The outcome was assessed using Outcome Related to Impact on Daily Living (ORIDL) and Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP-2) scale. Modified Naranjo criteria were used to find out any possible causal attribution. Result The results reflected improvement in ORIDL scale (+2 and +3). MYMOP-2 for Symptom 1 showed reduction in mean score from 5.60 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.63) to 2.67 (SD: 0.72) after a treatment period of 6 weeks. The reduction was statistically significant (mean difference 2.93 with 95% confidence interval: 2.6–3.2, t-score 19.1382, p < 0.001, paired t-test). The score of Modified Naranjo criteria ranged from 6 to 9. Thus these 15 cases derived the adequate subjective evidences in favour of keynote prescription. Further documentation and studies are warranted.

“…The MYMOP2 asks patients to identify their most important symptoms or complaints and rate the severity of the problems. It also asks how they feel about their general wellbeing, how long they have suffered from the problematic symptoms, and whether they take any drugs to attenuate those symptoms [37]. …”

BackgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent mental health disorders and has a significant societal economic burden. Antidepressants and cognitive behavioral therapy are two primary interventions for the standardized treatment of MDD. However, their weaknesses, such as a low response rate, a high risk of adverse events from medication, and the high cost of cognitive behavioral therapy, have resulted in a need for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Among the various therapeutic interventions in CAM, electroacupuncture and moxibustion have been widely used to treat various mental illnesses, including MDD. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomized controlled trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture plus moxibustion therapy for MDD.Methods/designWe will include patients between the ages of 19 to 65 years with MDD. A total of 30 participants will be recruited, and they will be randomly allocated into two groups at a 1:1 ratio. Patients in the treatment and control groups will, respectively, receive real and sham electroacupuncture/moxibustion treatments, for a total of 20 sessions over 8 weeks. The primary outcome will be the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, and the secondary outcomes will be Beck’s Depression Inventory, the Insomnia Severity Index, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the EuroQol 5-Dimension Index, the Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile version 2, and electroencephalography. Adverse events will be monitored at each visit to assess safety. All outcomes will be assessed and analyzed by researchers blinded to the treatment allocation.DiscussionThis is a two-armed, parallel-design, patient-assessor blinded, multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled pilot clinical trial. Data will be analyzed before and after treatment and during a 4-week follow-up. The results of the trial will provide a basis for further studies assessing the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture plus moxibustion treatment for MDD.Trial registrationKorean Clinical Trial Registry, CRIS-KCT0001810.

Recommendations for Designing, Conducting and Reporting Observational Studies in Homeopathy

et al. 2020

Background Randomized placebo-controlled trials are considered to be the gold standard in clinical research and have the highest importance in the hierarchical system of evidence-based medicine. However, from the viewpoint of decision makers, due to lower external validity, practical results of efficacy research are often not in line with the huge investments made over decades. Method We conducted a narrative review. With a special focus on homeopathy, we give an overview on cohort, comparative cohort, case-control and cross-sectional study designs and explain guidelines and tools that help to improve the quality of observational studies, such as the STROBE Statement, RECORD, GRACE and ENCePP Guide. Results Within the conventional medical research field, two types of arguments have been employed in favor of observational studies. First, observational studies allow for a more generalizable and robust estimation of effects in clinical practice, and if cohorts are large enough, there is no over-estimation of effect sizes, as is often feared. We argue that observational research is needed to balance the current over-emphasis on internal validity at the expense of external validity. Thus, observational research can be considered an important research tool to describe “real-world” care settings and can assist with the design and inform the results of randomised controlled trails. Conclusions We present recommendations for designing, conducting and reporting observational studies in homeopathy and provide recommendations to complement the STROBE Statement for homeopathic observational studies.
