This is a research study which was conducted in a hospital dermatology department in
Saitama, Japan. Kudos to the Japanese researchers and homeopaths for working together with medical doctors to help their patients!

Study summary: The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic treatment of intractable atopic dermatitis (IAD). Seventeen IAD patients were given individualized homeopathic treatment in addition to conventional dermatological therapy from 6 months to 2 years and 7 months.

Although all of the patients had previously been treated with conventional
medicine and various psychological approaches, they had had severe
conditions and shown no significant sign of improvement.

The efficacy of homeopathic treatment was measured by objective
assessments of the skin condition and the patients' own assessments, using a
9 point scale similar to the Glasgow Homeopathic Outcome Scale, was used.

Over 50% improvement was reported in overall impression and in
their skin conditions by all patients, in itchiness by 15 of the patients,
in sleep disturbance by 10 out of 13 patients, in satisfaction in daily
life by nine out of 12, in fulfillment at work by seven out of 11 and in
satisfaction with human relations by 10 out of 14. Two detailed case
histories are reported.
