A pilot survey of 1025 patients receiving homeopathic treatment in six European countries is reported. An initial questionnaire included demographic information and questions from health-related Quality of Life (QoL) scales. A follow-up questionnaire collected data on changes in QoL. The demographic characteristics of respondents were similar to previous studies. 82.8% of respondents had previously tried conventional treatments. Satisfaction with consultations was high. The changes of QoL status are positive but weak. 2.7% of patients experienced side-effects which they attribute to homeopathic treatment. 7.8% of patients reported significant aggravation at the beginning of the homeopathic treatment, 25.4% slight aggravation of symptoms. A new survey should be performed with a better motivation of doctors and patients. Further description of treatment would be helpful.
报告了一项对六个欧洲国家接受顺势疗法治疗的1025名患者的初步调查。初始问卷包括人口统计学信息以及来自健康相关生活质量（QoL）量表的问题。后续问卷收集了生活质量变化的数据。受访者的人口统计学特征与先前研究相似。82.8%的受访者此前曾尝试过传统治疗。对咨询的满意度很高。生活质量状况的变化是积极的，但很微弱。2.7%的患者经历了他们认为归因于顺势疗法治疗的副作用。7.8%的患者报告在顺势疗法治疗开始时有明显加重，25.4%的患者症状稍有加重。应该进行一项新的调查，提高医生和患者的积极性。对治疗进行进一步描述会有所帮助。
