    Efficacy of Ferrum metallicum 30C in restoring menstrual cycle in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2024) Jerin, J. P.; Nayak, Chaturbhuja; Karthikeyan, D.; Rajagopalan, Maanasa
    Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age, with the prevalent clinical symptom of irregular menstruation. Objective: This trial assessed the efficacy of Ferr. met. 30C in restoring the menstrual cycle among PCOS patients. Methods: A randomised, placebo-controlled, single-blind trial was conducted at outpatient departments of Sri Sai Ram Homoeopathy Medical College and Research Centre, Chennai. Patients were randomly allotted to the experimental (Group I - Ferr. met. 30C) and control (Group II - Placebo) groups. Quality of life of patients in both groups was assessed through PCOS Questionnaire scale at baseline and at 6th month. Results: Sixty-five patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to Group I (n = 33) and Group II (n = 32). The menstrual cycle got regularised in 48% of Group I patients and 29% of Group II. Data were also compared to see the menstrual restoration period in both the groups. About 48% of participants in group I and 29% in group II had their menses restored after homoeopathic intervention and the difference between the groups was found to be 1.81 (p < 0.05). Improvement in menstrual cycle before and after intervention for patients in both groups showed a significant difference after the intervention (higher in Group I than Group II), confirming the efficacy of intervention in the experimental group: p < 0.05. Conclusion: This trial suggests that Ferr. met. 30C could be effective in restoring the menstrual cycle in PCOS patients. Rigorous trials and independent replications are warranted.

    Study on effectiveness of homoeopathic bowel nosodes in the treatment of cervical spondylosis on the basis of stool culture report
    (2008) Nayak, Chaturbhuja
    A prospective study of the patients suffering from cervical spondylosis treated with bowel nosodes was conducted with the objective to study their efficacy when prescribed on the basis of stool culture report. The stool cultures of 82 enrolled cases were done for isolation of non-lactose fermenting bowel organisms. On the basis of the presence of the predominant bacteria in the stool of patient suffering from cervical spondylosis, the corresponding bowel nosode was administered. Out of 82 patients enrolled in this study, 31 patients were given bowel nosodes only; 69 patients (84.14%) were given bowel nosode alone or along with homoeopathic/biochemic medicines. The results of the study were, therefore, assessed in these 69 patients only. The study concluded that bowel nosodes could possibly be used effectively on the basis of the stool culture in the treatment of patients suffering from cervical spondylosis.
