Background: Sleep disorders are common in childhood and adolescence and can nega-tively affect cognitive development, mood regulation, behaviour and quality of life. Parents frequently seek complementary therapies such as homoeopathy, yet the scientific evidence for homoeopathic treatments in paediatric sleep disorders remains uncertain. This sys-tematic review examines the effectiveness of homoeopathic interventions for sleep disor-ders in children and adolescents according to evidence-based medicine principles. Objec-tives: To systematically review and evaluate the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatments for sleep disorders in children and adolescents, following evidence-based principles. We aimed to summarize current clinical evidence from 2015–2025 on whether homoeopathy improves paediatric insomnia and other sleep-related disorders, and to assess the quality of that evidence. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and allied databases were searched for RCTs and observational studies involving participants
