A Synopsis On Effectiveness Of Individualized Homoeopathic Medicines And Glycyrrhiza Glabra Mother Tincture In The Treatment Of Hyperlipidemia: An Open Randomized Clinical Trial

Hyperlipidemia is considered as one of the major risk factors causing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). It is commonly seen in above the age of 25 years. Researches showed that overall, 33.8% of the population presented any of the forms of hyperlipidemia, being more frequent in men (50.6%) than in women (28.8%). It causes Tuberous xanthomas in the Achilles tendon, hands, feet, elbows, and/or knees and Corneal arcus of the eye, Dyspnea, Paresthesia and Confusion. It does not have symptoms at all, but it can cause other symptomatic vascular disease, like coronary artery disease. Proper case taking is done and patients will be divided into two parallel arms. 50% patients will receive individualized homoeopathic medicines and 50% will receive Glycyrrhiza glabra mother tincture. Each enrolled case will be followed up monthly, Serum lipid profile will be done at the baseline, 3rd month, and at 6thmonth to assess/compare the change in serum lipid level. The assessment of the outcome of the treatment will be done using COOP/WONCA Functional Assessment chart gradation at the baseline, 3rd month, and at 6th month in particular level.
