        <p>Aim: To Evaluate the effectiveness of Homeopathic Medicine Helonias Dioica 30 
and Individualized Homeopathic Medicine in Chronic Low Back Pain of age group 
between 13 to 60 years using Defense Veterans Pain Rating Scale. 
Objective: To study the effectiveness of Homeopathic Medicine Helonias Dioica 30 
in Chronic Low Back Pain for age group 13-60years and to identify the most 
indicated Homeopathic Medicine in cases of Chronic Low Back Pain. 
Materials And Methods: The Randomized Control Trial, includes 46 cases of 
chronic Low Back Pain, out of which 23 were in experimental group receiving 
Heloias Dioica 30CH, and 23 were in control group receiving Individualized 
Homoeopathic medicine. Result: According to reliability of Defense Veterans Pain 
Rating Scale) DVPRS from group N1(23 cases): 36.95% cases improved, 60.86% 
cases were improving, and 2.17% case not improved. Since the calculated value of t 
(10.9547) is greater than table value of t (2.08), Individualized Homoeopathic 
Medicine is more effective than Helonias Dioica 30 in Chronic Low Back pain for 
age group 13 -60 years.</p>
