In Italy, 24 homeopathic doctors participated in this preliminary field study from Feb 25 until April 7, involving 50 patients suffering from symptomatic COVID-19. They included 10 confirmed COVID-19 cases, and 40 probable cases (based on WHO criteria).
Each doctor involved in the study was required to send all cases under homeopathic treatment, whatever the outcome of the treatment implemented. The course of treatment averaged 14 days (the shortest lasted 4 days before recovery, the longest 34 days). Given the emergency situation and the fact that homeopathy is practiced almost exclusively in private practice only, it was not possible to carry out a control group with patients treated exclusively with conventional treatments.
The homeopathic treatment was administered until the patient's clinical improvement was evident. The hospitalization rate in this group of 50 patients treated homeopathically was zero!
FYI, at the bottom of this report is a list of the homeopathic medicines used. The five most frequently prescribed Rxs were Bryonia (21 times), Arsenicum album (16), Phosphorous (9), Belladonna (6) and Antimonium tart (6). Nineteen other Rxs were used, but always as a singular remedy treatment at a time.
This is a preliminary study. A much larger sample of homeopathically treated patients would be most illuminating.
