Evidence table of positive results for selected complementary and alternative medicine therapies
Disorder Intervention Study (year) Study design Conclusion
Major depression Hypericum (St John's wort) Cochrane Collaboration[1]
(2008)
Systematic review "The available evidence suggests that the hypericum extracts tested in the included trials a) are superior to placebo in patients with major depression; b) are similarly effective as standard antidepressants; c) and have fewer side effects than standard antidepressants. The association of country of origin and precision with effects sizes complicates the interpretation."
Evidence table of negative results for selected complementary and alternative medicine therapies
Disorder Intervention Study (year) Study design Conclusion
Benign prostatic hypertrophy Serenoa repens (Saw palmetto) Bent et al[2]
(2006 )
Randomized controlled trial "In this study, saw palmetto did not improve symptoms or objective measures of benign prostatic hyperplasia."
