Study Overview

Brief Summary

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a major problem worldwide and millions of people are suffering from this condition. Homoeopathy has long been recognised for its effectiveness in AR. However, very few clinical trials are there evaluating the effect of Individualised Homoeopathy in AR cases. This study has been taken up to demonstrate the feasibility and effect of IH in such cases. The trial will be conducted in strict adherence to the Helsinki’s human declaration protocol. The results of this study will be of much interest to the therapeutic modalities for AR.
