Homeopathic Arnica 30x is ineffective for muscle soreness after long-distance running

A.J. Vickers, P.Fisher, C.Smith, et al.

September 1, 1998

The following study was "well done" according to conventional scientific standards. From a homeopathic standpoint however, the study is flawed.

Clinical Journal of Pain, September 1998, 14:227-231.

A randomized, double-blind compared Arnica with placebo in 519 runners "anticipating delayed onset muscles soreness after long-distance races" and found no markers significantly more positive than placebo. Nothing in the provings of Arnica suggest it as applicable for sports injuries from overuse of muscles. It is intended for the results of blows and injuries where there is swelling and bruising.
