Abstract: The symptoms and characteristics of steep apnoea syndrome-excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, restless and non-restorative steep-are so impressive that it is difficult to understand why its recognition was delayed until the 1970s. The Centennial book of the American Thoracic Society credited Sidney Burwell for the discovery of Obstructive Steep Apnoea Syndrome. This is only one of the many mistakes and misattributions regarding the history of steep apnoea syndrome. The earliest descriptions of patients who presumably suffered from steep apnoea were made in the 19th century. The term “Pickwickian” in connection with sleepy patients was introduced in 1889. The first electrophysiological steep recordings of Pickwickian patients and the understanding of the syndrome as disordered breathing in sleep, were made during the late 1950s and 1960s. Its recognition as a public health problem was facilitated by Young et at.’s [Young T, Palta M, Dempsey J, et at. The occurrence of steep-disordered breathing among middle-aged adulte. N Engl J Med 1993,328:1230-5] seminal paper documenting the prevalence of the syndrome in the general population, and by the accumulated evidence that the syndrome is a major cardiovascular risk factor. Bibliometric analysis of the literature on steep apnoea reveals that future research will focus on the tong-term outcomes of the syndrome, on the effects of treatment, and on the underlying mechanisms linking it with cardiovascular morbidity.

Abstract: Background: Insomnia is a common problem which impacts on quality of life. Current management includes psychological and behavioural therapies and/or pharmacological treatments.

Objective: To systematically review research evidence for effectiveness of homeopathy in the management of insomnia.

Methods: Comprehensive searches of biomedical databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane library, Science Citation Index), homeopathy-specific and complementary medicine-specific databases were conducted.

Results: (A) Homeopathic medicines: four randomised controlled trials (RCTs) compared homeopathic medicines to placebo. All involved small patient numbers and were of low methodological quality. None demonstrated a statistically significant difference in outcomes between groups, although two showed a trend favouring homeopathic medicines and three demonstrated significant improvements from baseline in both groups. A cohort study reported significant improvements from baseline. (B) Treatment by a homeopath: No randomised controlled trials of treatment by a homeopath were identified. One cohort study, three case series and over 2600 case studies were identified. Conclusions: The limited evidence available does not demonstrate a statistically significant effect of homeopathic medicines for insomnia treatment. Existing RCTs were of poor quality and were likely to have been underpowered. Well-conducted studies of homeopathic medicines and treatment by a homeopath are required to examine the clinical and cost effectiveness of homeopathy for insomnia. (c) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
