Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Homoeopathy for delayed onset muscle soreness: a randomised double blind placebo controlled trial.
To pilot a model for determining whether a homoeopathic medicine is superior to placebo for delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). ⋯ The study did not find benefit of the homoeopathic remedy in DOMS. Bench stepping may not be an appropriate model to evaluate the effects of a treatment on DOMS because of wide variation between subject soreness scores.
