Feasibility in a homeopathy for seasonal allergic rhinitis RCT: importance of therapeutic relationship and organizational capacity
Findings of this qualitative study provide design-level recommendations (e.g., upfront communication of consultation length, digital diaries with free-text, tracked medication shipping, single contact point) for RCT studies. Beyond the specific homeopathy study context, these findings offer important methodological insights for designing patient-centered RCTs in complex intervention settings not only in the field of Complementary and Integrative Medicine.
