简要总结
Sciatica pain is an extremely common clinical condition where the standard management involves epidural steroidal injections and long-term use of which is extremely harmful for the health of the patient. Inadequate number of studies and evidences in favour of homoeopathy compel patients to opt for the standard allopathic management but this obstinate pain can be very finely managed by homoeopathy without any known side effects. This is an area where homoeopathy can stand up and make a notice. This study attempts to verify and compare thee effectiveness of individualised homoeopathic medicines in centisimal potency and fifty millesimal potency in the treatment of sciatica pain in adults. The scales of potentisation is one of the fundamental concepts of homoeopathy and thus it deserves adequate emphasis.
