https://www.highdilution.org/index.php/ijhdr/article/view/1294
<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p><strong>Background: </strong>Candidiasis is the most significant opportunistic infection impacting the Quality of life. <strong>Objective: </strong>This study assess the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathy (IH) in centesimal scale selected from the Kent’s repertory in cases of Candidiasis. <strong>Methods: </strong>This is open – label, prospective, Single-arm, non-randomized, non-controlled clinical trial of pre-post comparison design was conducted at the Repertory outpatient department (OPD) of National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata, India. <strong>Result: </strong>Calculated t<sub>29</sub> value is 8.04 OR 9.17 by using NRS and MCAQ scoring scale and on referring t-table at degree of freedom 29, it is found that the t-value is 2.05 at p=0.05. However our calculated value 8.04 or 9.17 is > 2.05 (t at p=0.05). As the calculated t-value is greater than the table value at <strong>α </strong>= 0.05 . So the result is significant at p ≤ 0.05. There is statically significant improvement in pre and post intervention status of patients enrolled in this clinical study. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study provides a positive trend to support the effect of IH (Individualized Homoeopathy) selected on the basis of principal of Kent’s repertory in patients with different variety of candidiasis and warrants further evaluation in RCT (Randomized control trial) with higher sample size.</p>Nitin Kumar SaklaniRamkripal Prajapati

https://www.highdilution.org/index.php/ijhdr/article/view/1388
<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> Dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation, affects a substantial portion of women worldwide, with prevalence rates reaching up to 67 to 90% among young women. This condition, characterized by intense lower abdominal cramps and associated symptoms, has a significant impact on women's quality of life. Conventional treatments like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have limitations, leading many to explore alternative therapies such as homeopathy. <strong>Objective:</strong> This article reviews the effects of homeopathic treatments on dysmenorrhea patients and examines seven studies conducted in this context. <strong>Methods:</strong> Studies which meet the specific required criteria; involving dysmenorrhea and Homoeopathy and being published in peer-reviewed English-language scientific journals were only included. Various parameters, such as disease intensity scales, the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ), Pain Rating Scale (PRS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and quality of life (QoL) using the World Health Organization Quality of Life: Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) scale, numerical rating scale (NRS), and verbal multidimensional scoring system (VMSS), were evaluated. The results before and after treatment with homoeopathic high dilutions have been compared and summarized. <strong>Results:</strong> Clinical analysis and statistical data of reviewed studies reveal homeopathic high dilutions as effective for Primary Dysmenorrhea, reducing pain (VAS), improving quality of life (WHOQOL), and demonstrating safety, emphasizing their holistic potential.</p> <p> </p>DR PARTH APHALEDr. Dharmendra SharmaHimanshu Shekhar
