Efficacy was found for the functional somatic syndromes group ( fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome ) , but not for anxiety or stress .
For other disorders , homeopathy produced mixed effects .
Meaningful safety data were lacking in the reports , but the superficial findings suggested good tolerability of homeopathy .
OBJECTIVE To systematic ally review  placebo-controlled r and omized trials of  homeopathy for psychiatric conditions .
The effects of homeopathic Argentum nitricum on test anxiety.
OBJECTIVES ( 1 ) To replicate a study of the efficacy of Argentum nitricum 12X in the reduction of test anxiety as demonstrated previously . ( 2 ) To investigate the correlation between individuals identified to match the A. nitricum profile and the reduction of  test anxiety . To compare traditionally prepared homeopathic A. nitricum 12X with radionically-prepared A. nitricum 12X and placebo . DESIGN A double blind , placebo-controlled , r and omised clinical trial with three arms . SETTING The study was conducted at Southern Cross University , Lismore , Australia . SUBJECTS Sixty-two test anxious university students . INTERVENTIONS Subjects were r and omised to one of three groups : traditionally prepared homeopathic A. nitricum 12X , radionically-prepared A. nitricum 12X , or placebo . After screening , each group received treatment twice a day for 4 days after which they were re-tested . OUTCOME MEASURES Primary : The Revised Test Anxiety Scale . Secondary : The Test Anxiety Scale ; 36-item A. nitricum question naire . RESULTS The results of this study did not replicate the Stanton study . No correlation between the reduction of test anxiety and the A. nitricum profile was demonstrated . No significant differences between treatments were demonstrated . CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that homeopathic A. nitricum 12X does not reduce test anxiety in a general population of university students
