Evolving homoeopathic management strategies in patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Retrospective case series study.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a functional gastrointestinal disorder where conventional treatments such as anti-diarrheals, stool bulking agents, and dietary modifications provide only symptomatic relief without addressing underlying causes. Research on homeopathy in IBS has shown mixed results, with some studies reporting global improvement but lacking detail on specific symptom changes, potency selection, posology, or strategies for managing acute exacerbations. To fill this gap, a systematic retrospective analysis of homeopathically treated IBS cases is proposed, focusing on disease trends, aggravating and predisposing factors, epidemiology, and individualized remedy strategies—including acute, chronic, intercurrent, and specific remedies—while evaluating potency selection and repetition in relation to patient susceptibility and sensitivity. This approach aims to establish clearer correlations between individualized homeopathic remedies and clinical outcomes, ultimately contributing to structured, evidence-based management strategies for IBS.
