简要总结
Irritable bowel syndrome is defined as a chronic functional bowel disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterised by recurrent abdominal pain in association with abnormal defecation in the absence of detectable structural abnormalities of the gut. The most typical signs and symptoms include the onset of pain during emotional upset, abdominal pain in the epigastric region, abdominal bloating, alternating diarrhoea and constipating spells, and often mucus in the stools. IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) is only at the functional level and no structural pathological changes exist.
Homoeopathy’s holistic approach lacks side effects and cost-effectiveness, providing it with a wide range of therapeutic applications. It is highly effective in functional psychosomatic illnesses like IBS. In Homoeopathy, Importance is given to psyche symptoms and bowel symptoms in the treatment plan.
Argentum nitricum has marked action on the gastroenteritic system. In A Dictionary of Clarke Materia medica by J.H Clarke Argentum nitricum has digestive upsets accompanied by nervousness and
anxiety suggesting the use of this remedy. The constitutional and miasmatic approach also plays an important role in the cure of IBS.
However, there are few trials on homoeopathy for the treatment of IBS. No comparative studies were conducted on the relative effect of Argentum nitricum versus homoeopathic constitutional medicine.
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Argentum nitricum and homoeopathic constitutional medicine in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
