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.
23名接受传统一线抗炎治疗加顺势疗法的类风湿性关节炎患者与另一组同样为23名接受传统一线治疗加惰性制剂的患者进行了比较。接受顺势疗法药物治疗的患者在主观疼痛、关节指数、僵硬程度和握力方面有显著改善，而接受安慰剂治疗的患者则无显著变化。两名医生参与了对患者的治疗开药，他们所得到的结果没有显著差异。顺势疗法药物未观察到副作用。
