A prospective comparative quasi-experimental study was conducted, in 30 people with obesity or overweight who were subjected to a nutritional treatment accompanied by a homeopathic treatment and a control group integrated by 30 people who were subjected to an exclusive nutritional treatment. The sampling method was probability, randomizing subject types. When comparing the weight loss to the difference of the initial weight and final weight registered in both groups, it was found that in the group which had a unique nutritional treatment, the average weight loss was 0.776 kg with a standard deviation equal to 0.910, while in the group that received a nutritional treatment accompanied by homeopathy the result was 2.257 kg with a standard deviation of 1.625. Through an analysis of mean difference concerning theweight loss,the group with nutritional treatment and the group with nutritional treatmentand homeopathy obtained a P=0.000, because the value is < 0.05 there is a significant difference, detecting that the loss of weight was greater in the group of nutritional treatment complimented with homeopathic treatment, but when comparing the BMI there is no significant difference detected since the p= 0.497 is > 0.05 The use of a homeopathic treatment accompanied by a nutritional treatment has better results in the reduction of weight. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol7no2/the-effect-of-nutritional-and-homeopathic-treatments-versus-exclusive-nutritional-treatments-in-patients-with-obesity-or-overweight/ Nutritional treatment Homeopathic treatment Obesity Overweight Weight reduction
