Anthroposophic physicians have objected against controlles trials out of ethical reasons as they interfere with the doctor patient relationship and the medical judgement of the physician. In the recent decades there has been growing research in this field anyway (as can be seen in the figure to the right). One main focus were trials on [[mistletoe therapy]]. A main research goal has been epistemology and theory of medicine as concepts central to anthroposophic medicine like the etheric body or spiritual aspects are difficult to cope with in the conventional medical system.
