ALLERGY

TRASFONDO: Estudios que han utilizado homeopatía han reportado efectos beneficiosos en el tratamiento de condiciones relacionadas a alergia.

OBJETIVO: Este estudio investiga los efectos de un medicamento homeopático preparado con alergenos comunes (árboles, pasto, y especies de semillas) específicas de la región suroeste.

MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio clínico de 4 semanas, doble ciego, controlado con placebo en el área metropolitana de Phoenix de febrero a mayo, durante la estación de alergia en la región. Se incluyeron 40 sujetos, hombres y mujeres, de 26 a 63 años de edad, diagnosticados con síntomas moderados a severos de rinitis alérgica estacional, admitidos al estudio para evaluar los efectos del medicamento homeopático comparado con placebo. Los resultados del estudio evaluarían síntomas específicos de alergia utilizando el cuestionario de calidad de vida de rinoconjuntivitis (CCVR), calidad de vida funcional utilizando el cuestionario MOS SF-36, y el cuestionario de productividad e impedimento en el trabajo (PIT).

RESULTADOS: Las escalas de CCVR, MOS SF-36, y PIT demostraron cambios significativos entre los valores de base y a las 4 semanas en el grupo de homeopatía comparado con el grupo placebo (p < 0.05). Los pacientes no reportaron efectos adversos durante el período de intervención.

CONCLUSIONES: Estos hallazgos preliminares indican un beneficio potencial de la intervención homeopática en reducir los síntomas y mejorar la calidad de vida en pacientes con rinitis alérgica estacional en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos.
