I always get so excited when I see a free full text study. In reality, most of the time the only way to read a full study is to buy it for $30 US. A daunting amount when there are so many studies to read. Here is a study evaluating the homeopathic preparation Nervoheel against Lorazepam and winning so to speak.
The results of this open-label study indicate that the homotoxicological preparation Nervoheel N offers symptomatic relief from a variety of manifestations summarized under the label ‘mild nervous disorders’: aches, palpitations, indigestion, lack of appetite, mild sexual dysfunction, fatigue, listlessness, sleep disturbances, restlessness, or lack of concentration. For these conditions, Nervoheel might be a better-tolerated alternative to benzodiazepines, here represented by lorazepam. In our non-inferiority analysis, the degrees of improvements were highly similar across the board for the 11 different variables assessed, and non-inferiority of Nervoheel N could be shown for all variables as well as their summary score. The study is the first attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of Nervoheel in a clinical setting.
