  Effect of Homeopathy Intervention on Depression in Women: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

  Karakas, Sevda; Karaahmet, Aysu Yıldız; Bilgiç, Fatma Şule

  Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to systematically review randomized controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of homeopathy intervention given to women on depression and to conduct a meta-analysis of the available evidence. Materials and Methods: Systematic searches of Cochrane, PubMed, SCOPUS, WOS, EMBASE in five databases were conducted between February- March 2025. The risk of bias and the certainty of the evidence were assessed with the Cochrane bias risk tool ROB-2. Summary effect size measurements were calculated using random effects model estimation and reported as standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals. Reporting followed PRISMA guidelines. Results: A systematic literature review was conducted with 10 studies included in the analysis. A total of 636 people took part in the studies. Homeopathy intervention had a significant effect on depression (SMD:-0.44, 95% CI:-0.71 to -0.18, Z=3.26, p=0.001), and in the subgroup analysis, it was found to be more effective in women aged 40 years and older than in women aged 40 years (SMD:-0.47, 95% CI: -0.91 to -0.03, Z=2.08, p=0.004). In addition, it was found to have a significant effect on anxiety (SMD:-0.43, 95% CI:-0.69 to -0.17, Z=3.27, p=0.001) and fatigue (MD:-1.58, 95% CI: -2.78 to -0.39, Z=2.59, p=0.009). Conclusions: The study determined that homeopathic intervention in women was effective for depression; It was found that it provided a decrease in anxiety and depression levels. It is important to disseminate homeopathy treatment and ensure accessibility in solving psychological problems such as depression and anxiety that adversely affect women's health.

  A Comparison of the Instantaneous Effects of Spinal Manipulation and Mobilization Techniques Applied to L3 Level on Jumping, Agility and Sprint Speed in Male Volleyball Players

  Aydın, Emine Büşra; Hatik, Sefa Haktan; Büyükkırlı, İlker Can

  Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of manipulation and mobilization treatments applied to the L3 segment on sportive performance to prevent performance anxiety and low performance resulting from competition stress in athletes. Material-Method: Sixty male volleyball players aged 18 to 25 were enrolled in this randomized controlled trial. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a manipulation, a mobilization, and a control group. After completing the required warm-up program, participants underwent either manipulation or mobilization based on their assigned group. Hip range of motion, lumbar range of motion, T-Test time (seconds), 10-meter sprint time (seconds), vertical jump height (cm), and horizontal jump distance (cm) were evaluated immediately before and after the interventions. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups regarding participants' age and height (p>0.05). The mobilization group had the highest mean body mass index and weight (p=0.05). In the intra-group analysis, statistically significant improvements were observed in the spinal manipulation group for hip external rotation, lumbar flexion, extension, T-test performance, and right lumbar flexion (p<0.05). In the mobilization group, significant changes were noticeable for right hip flexion, left hip abduction, hip external rotation, lumbar flexion, extension and lateral flexion, T-test performance, 10-meter sprint, and horizontal jump. Across all groups, all measures were statistically significant except for hip flexion, hip adduction, hip internal rotation, and lumbar lateral flexion (p<0.05). Conclusion: Comparing the data between the groups revealed that the spinal manipulation group demonstrated superior outcomes in right hip extension, right hip external rotation, lumbar flexion, extension, T-test performance, and 10-meter sprint times compared to the spinal mobilization and control groups. We believe that pre-competition spinal manipulation interventions may offer the greatest benefit for volleyball players.
