Abstract
Twenty‐three patients with rheumatoid arthritis on orthodox first‐line anti‐inflammatory treatment plus homeopathy were compared wtih a similar group of twenty‐three patients on orthodox first‐line treatment plus an inert preparation. There was a significant improvement in subjective pain, articular index, stiffness and grip strength in those patients receiving homoeopathic remedies whereas there was no significant change in the patients who received placebo. Two physicians were involved in prescribing for the patients and there were no significant differences in the results which they obtained. No side effects were observed with the homoeopathic remedies.Keywords
