Resumen

MORENO PEREZ, Lourdes Margarita et al. Efecto de la Euphrasia como medicamento homeopático en las conjuntivitis. Rev Cubana Plant Med [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.1. ISSN 1028-4796.

A prospective and cross-sectional study was conducted at "Tomas Romay" Polyclinic in Artemisa during the first 2 months of 2002 to evaluate the results of the homeopathic treatment with Euphrasia in conjunctivitis. Placebo was used to compare these results. In the selected sample, it was observed a higher predominance of females and ages 19- 34. The most frequently detected symptoms were red eye, with 98.5 %, and headache, with 29.8 %. An adequate concordance was observed between the presumptive diagnosis and the ocular cytological study. The treatment with Euphrasia had good results in 82,8 % of the cases compared with the control group, where placebo was used and only 31.2 % of the patients improved. In this study, exposure to light, whether artifical or natural, worsened the symptomatology of conjuctivitis.

Palabras clave : EUPHRASIA OFFICINALIS [therapeutic use]; PLANTS, MEDICINAL; CONJUNCTIVITIS [drug therapy]; EYE [citology].
