Scientific Evidence and Research (RHO_023)
About Study Course
Objective
To demonstrate the importance and productivity of modern homoeopathic research and highlight the scientific areas where homoeopathic research is currently being carried out.
Learning outcomes
1.• of how to integrate the information learned in Materia Medica I and Materia Medica II study courses into a scientific research context:
• of research methods and application thereof in homoeopathy;
• of research methodology – quantitative, qualitative, randomised clinical trials, meta-analysis;
• of the limitations of research methods in medicine;
• of modern scientific evidence, homoeopathic concepts and the law of similars;
• of the Arndt-Schulz law, biphasic activity, dose-dependent reverse effect, importance of hormesis, clinical trial results and evidence;
• of branches of science – nanoscience, particle physics and genetics, enabling an understanding of the biophysical basis of homoeopathy;
• of repeated and new drug trials, importance of randomised clinical trials for critical evaluation of revalidation of Materia Medica;
• of the role of research in validating and improving Materia Medica data;
• of the methodology of the Materia Medica revision project.
1.• to find and critically evaluate existing literature on research in homoeopathic medicine;
• to understand information about advances in modern scientific disciplines such as nanoscience, particle physics and genetics;
• to understand information on the latest modern examination, diagnostic and treatment strategies in medicine and other branches of medical science;
• to apply research ethics in health research;
• communication skills to explain research results;
• demonstrates self-motivation, self-confidence and initiative.
1.• ability to apply research methodology in homoeopathic therapeutic work;
