Homeopathy is one of the most commonly used complementary therapies along with herbs and vitamins in 7 out of 14 European countries, and an average 31.4% of cancer patients in those countries use Homeopathy. The use of homeopathy in patients with cancer has been associated with an improvement in Quality of life (QOL) and a decrease in fatigue symptoms (Medioni et al., 2023). Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago. It's based on two unconventional theories: "Like cures like"-the notion that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people, and "Law of minimum dose"-the notion that the lower the dose of the medication, the greater its effectiveness. Many homeopathic products are so diluted that no molecules of the original substance remain (Cartwright, 2018).
Placebo
Placebo tablets identical in appearance, taste, and administration schedule to ENCER, but containing only inactive ingredients and no homeopathic active ingredients. Participants received one tablet orally twice daily for 12 weeks.
