简要总结

This study is designed whether IHMs in LM Potencies can produce any significant effect beyond placebo in systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the treatment of resistant hypertension in postmenopausal women after four months of intervention, using an N-of-1 trial design. The trial will be conducted at the Outpatient Department of D. N. De Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. Participants will receive personalized homeopathic medicines, with each treatment cycle followed by a washout phase to assess individual responses. The primary outcome is the change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure from baseline. Secondary outcomes include improvement in quality of life measured by the MINICHAL (Mini Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida en Hipertensión Arterial) and SF-12 (Short Form Health Survey) scales. Additionally, ancillary investigations—including serum urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine, urine routine examination, lipid profile, and electrocardiogram (ECG) will be conducted to monitor end-organ damage associated with hypertension. This trial aims to assess the individualized therapeutic response to homeopathy in resistant hypertension and explore its potential as a safe, complementary approach in long-term hypertension care.
