      <abstract>
        <p>30 cases of ano-rectal disorders covering inclusion &amp; exclusion criteria (haemorrhoids, fissure, and Ano
rectal abscess) are selected by simple randomized sampling method. Cases were collected from college 
OPD, Private OPD, Camps conducted by college, etc. cases are repertorized using Synthesis 9.0 repertory 
and remedy which is most similar to the case from the group of similar remedies is prescribed. The 
outcome assessment is judged on Verbal Analogue Scale for pain, &amp; bleeding and discomfort. At the 
end, in each case, with subsequent follow up, cases were grouped as IMPROVED (cases with no pain &amp; 
discomfort), RECOVERED (cases with little improvement), and NOT IMPROVED (cases with no 
improvement in pain &amp; discomfort). For statistical analysis Verbal Analogue Pain Scale Score before 
and after the Homoeopathic remedy was used. Out of 30 cases, 29 cases were improved and 1 case was 
recovered with little improvement. Paired ‘t’ test was used for final conclusion. Calculated value of‘t’ 
was 31.67 which is greater than table value of ‘t’ at degrees of freedom 29 &amp; at 5% L.O.S (which is 2.05).</p>
