        <p>Background: Motion sickness is an ill feeling, a common problem in people traveling by 
car, boat, train, and plane or while on amusement rides. Motion sickness can be triggered 
by rocking in a boat, air turbulence in an airplane, being in the back seat of a car unable to 
see the horizon, reading in the car. Objectives: To study the comparative efficacy of 
cocculus indicus and homoeopathic indicated medicine in motion sickness, in the age 
group between 10-55 years. To find out the most commonly Homoeopathic Indicated 
Medicine. Material and Method: A thorough case-taking process, guided by the 
homeopathic principle, comparative study was done. Patients recruited were assessed as 
per the MSAQ scale and Homoeopathic medicines were prescribed based on the law of 
simila. Regular assessments, follow-up, and statistical analysis using t-tests. (paired and 
unpaired).Result: The results show that there is difference in effectiveness of Cocculus 
Indicus &amp; Homeopathic Indicated Medicine in cases of Motion Sickness so, our 
alternative hypothesis was accepted. We rejected the null hypothesis at 5% I.O.S.since 
calculated value of t(4.56) is greater than table value of t(2.07).Conclusion: The study 
found that homoeopathic indicated medicine shown more improvement in the cases of 
motion sickness than the cocculus indicus based on the MSAQ(Motion Sickness 
Assessment Questionnaire).</p>
