ABSTRACT
Introduction: giardiasis is a frequent cause of acute diarrheal disease in children under five years of age and recurrent abdominal pain in the older child. Initially it was treated with mercurials, arsenical products and bismuth. Currently there are numerous therapeutic alternatives.Objective: to evaluate the therapeutic effect of homeopathic treatment in giardiasis.
Method: a phase IV clinical trial, controlled and randomized, was carried out with pediatric patients diagnosed in the General Provincial Teaching Hospital of Ciego de Ávila in the triennium 2014-2016. Two treatment groups were established: control, treated with secnidazole, and experimental, treated with giardinum 30 CH (homeopathic treatment). Clinical and laboratory evolution were carried out prospectively at 15 days, a month, two and three months later.
Results: the age group with the highest incidence was between one and five years (42,22%), the main symptom in both groups was abdominal pain, 52,22 % in the control group and 40,00 % in the experimental group. After 15 days the favorable therapeutic effect was higher in the experimental group (51,11 %), compared to the control group (34,44 %), with statistical significance (p=0,04), however, the result was not the same after 30 days, two and three months.
Conclusions: the homeopathic treatment with giardinum 30 CH was effective from the clinical point of view, reducing the time of resolution of the symptoms and signs, and the negativization of cysts or trophozoites in the feces 15 days after the treatment, being shown statistically.
