Abstract

An experimental, of therapeutic intervention study type was carried out, in 48 patients with sleeping disorder, assisted in the Mental Health Center of Contramaestre, in Santiago de Cuba, from January to June, 2015, aimed at evaluating the response to the treatment with homeopathy. Two groups of 24 members each were formed: the first one received the benefits of the homeopathic remedies and the second, conventional treatment. Among the main results the anxious disorder (50.0%) and the use of passiflora (45.0%) prevailed. The homeopathic treatment was as effective as the conventional one, the clinical course was faster and it didn't produce adverse reactions.
