Efficacy Of Lesser Known Homoeopathic Medicines In Treatment Of Haemorrhoids – A Clinical Study

This clinical study titled “Efficacy of Lesser Known Homoeopathic Medicines in the Treatment of Haemorrhoids – A Clinical Study” aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lesser-known homoeopathic medicines—Aegle folia, Gratiola officinalis, Mancinella, and Strontium carbonicum—in the treatment of haemorrhoids. It is a prospective, interventional, open-label, single-arm clinical trial, where all participants will receive one of the selected homoeopathic remedies based on individualization and symptom totality. The study will be conducted on 80 patients, aged 15 to 65 years, of either gender, who are clinically diagnosed with internal or external haemorrhoids and are willing to undergo homoeopathic treatment. Patients requiring emergency surgery, pregnant/lactating women, or those under malignant disease condition  will be excluded. The primary outcome will be measured using the Haemorrhoid Symptom Severity Scale (HSSS) before and after treatment. Secondary objectives include assessing incidence by age, sex, occupation, identifying the most effective medicine among the selected ones. The study will span nine months, including recruitment, treatment, and follow-up phases. The site of study will be S S AGRAWAL  Homoeopathic Medical College and General Hospital OPD at Navsari. The trial has received ethical approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. The study is led by Dr. Disha Patel , a Postgraduate Scholar from the Department of Homoeopathic Materia Medica.
