CCRH has conducted more than 100 clinical research studies mostly multicentric, including observational studies, comparative studies and randomized controlled trials. The research protocols have been developed in consultation with experts of Homoeopathy and modern medicine and evidence based research outcomes have been published in indexed and non-indexed journals. Standard treatment guidelines are being developed on various clinical conditions and are available on the website of the Council. Drugs proved by the Council are verified clinically to develop their therapeutic potential. Council has introduced 15 new drugs and which are also incorporated in the Homoeopathic Pharmacopeia of India.
