简要总结
Chronic urticaria is a common, relapsing dermatological condition characterized by the presence of recurrent wheals, itching, and occasional angioedema, significantly affecting the quality of life of patients. Identification of causative factors plays an important role in the homoeopathic system of medicine, as causation is considered a key element in individualizing the prescription and selecting the most appropriate remedy.
The present study is planned to assess the usefulness of causation in homoeopathic prescription in the management of patients suffering from chronic urticaria. Patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled from the outpatient department. Detailed case taking will be carried out with special emphasis on eliciting causative factors, and individualized homoeopathic medicines will be prescribed accordingly.
The effectiveness of the treatment will be evaluated using the Urticaria Activity Score over 7 days (UAS7) to assess disease activity, along with the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire (CU-Q2oL) to evaluate the impact of the disease and its treatment on patients’ quality of life. Assessment will be done at baseline, after 3 months, and at 6 months to observe changes in the severity and frequency of urticarial symptoms as well as quality of life parameters. The findings of the study are expected to provide clinical evidence regarding the role of causation in homoeopathic prescribing for chronic urticaria.
