Clinical trial, with positive findings, on 61 patients treated at a rehabilitation and palliative care department in Italy for dermatitis caused by having had radiotherapy for breast cancer. Approximately half of the patients were randomly allocated to receive homeopathic Belladonna and X-ray, and the others received a dummy pill (placebo); they were not told which treatment group they were in. During the period of radiotherapy, there was no difference between the groups. After 30 days’ recovery from radiotherapy, the patients in the homeopathy group reported less severe symptoms than those in the placebo group.
