CLINICAL EVIDENCE OF HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT IN CASES OF THYROID DISORDER

THE STUDY TITLED “ CLINICAL EVIDENCE OF HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT IN CASES OF THYROID DISORDER " IS A CLINICAL VERIFICATION STUDY DESIGNED TO SCIENTIFICALLY EXAMINE HOW THE INDIVIDUALISED HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES ARE EFFECTIVE IN TREATING CLINICALLY CONFIRMED CASES OF THYROID DISORDER. THYROID DISORDER  ARE MOST PREVALENT ENDOCRINE DISTURBANCE AFFECTING SIGNIFICANTLY ON METABOLISM,GROWTH, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THEY ARE USUALLY TREATED WITH CONVENTIONAL THERAPIES BUT THESE TREATMENTS OFTEN GIVE ONLY TEMPORARY OR SYMPTOMATIC RELIEF. HOMOEOPATHY, WITH ITS HOLISTIC AND INDIVIDUALIZED METHOD OF TREATMENT, OFFERS AN ALTERNATIVE OPTION.

THIS ANALYTICAL, INTERVENTIONAL, UNCONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL WILL BE CARRIED OUT OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS AT BARODA HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL, VADODARA. THE STUDY WILL USE PURPOSIVE SAMPLING OF 30 PATIENTS. CLINICAL ASSESSMENT WILL BE DONE BY USING THE SERUM TSH LEVEL. THE DATA WILL BE ANALYZED THROUGH PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN THE SERUM TSH LEVEL  AND STATISTICAL TESTING WITH A PAIRED T-TEST USING MICROSOFT EXCEL. ETHICAL CLEARANCE FOR THE STUDY HAS ALREADY BEEN OBTAINED.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO GENERATE CLINICAL EVIDENCE ABOUT THE HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES IN TREATING THYROID DISORDERS, THEREBY CONTRIBUTING TO EVIDENCE-BASED HOMOEOPATHIC PRACTICE.
