Effectiveness of Homoeopathic Treatment in the Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Study of 30 Cases

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent a major public health challenge, significantly impairing quality of life and functional mobility, particularly in middle-aged and elderly populations. This clinical observational study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic treatment in managing pain associated with musculoskeletal disorders, including osteoarthritis, cervical spondylosis, and calcaneal spurs. The investigation was carried out at the Government Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Dethali, on 30 patients selected through convenience purposive sampling. Each patient received individualized remedies based on totality of symptoms and miasmatic background. Treatment outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain intensity before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis of the data revealed a significant reduction in pain scores, demonstrating improvement in mobility and functional comfort. Among the prescribed medicines, Rhus toxicodendron emerged as the most frequently indicated remedy. The findings suggest that individualized homoeopathic management offers a safe, effective, and holistic therapeutic approach for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
