Study of efficacy of Homoeopathic Medicines in Management of Psoriasis cases treated after 2018: a retrospective study.
Psoriasis is a chronic, non infectious inflammatory skin disorder characterized by erythematous plaques covered with silvery scales and commonly affecting extensor surfaces such as elbows, knees, and scalp. The condition often follows a relapsing and remitting course and may significantly affect the quality of life of patients. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in the management of psoriasis cases treated after 2018. A total of 45 cases of psoriasis belonging to the age group of 10 to 60 years and of both sexes were included in the study. Patients were treated with individualized homoeopathic medicines based on symptom similarity and constitutional characteristics. Various remedies such as Arsenicum album, Graphites, Sepia, Sulphur, Petroleum, and Psorinum were prescribed according to the presenting symptoms and patient constitution. The results of the study indicated that 91% of cases showed improvement following homoeopathic treatment, while 6.66% of cases showed no improvement and 2.2% showed minimal improvement. The findings suggest that homoeopathic treatment may provide beneficial outcomes in the management of psoriasis by addressing both physical symptoms and underlying constitutional factors. Further large scale and controlled studies are recommended to validate these findings.
