Item Holistic approach of Homoeopathy in treatment of multimorbidity(CCRH, 2026) Verma, Divya; Saklani, Nitin Kumar; Arun KumarIntroduction: Multimorbidity, a rise in all ages, is a challenge for health care systems that are focused on single-disease management. Homoeopathy has shown competence in the management of chronic diseases, whether they occur as a single ailment or as multimorbidities. Case Summary: A 25-year-old female suffering from symptoms of PCOS, like irregular menses, secondary dysmenorrhea and secondary amenorrhea, along with chronic migraine visited the OPD. She also developed renal calculi during the previous homoeopathic treatment. Her condition improved through homoeopathic medicines Pulsatilla and Lycopodium. The case is reported according to HOM-CASE guidelines. The assessment of causal attribution of homoeopathic treatment was carried out using the Modified Naranjo Criteria, and VAS was used as the pain assessment for difficulty arising from menses, headache and renal calculi. MIDAS was used to determine disability due to migraine. The patient eventually reported regularity of menstrual cycles, reduction in pain during menses, and resolution of ovarian cysts. Migraine and renal calculi were also reported to be relieved as per the MIDAS score and ultrasound report, respectively. This case report suggests an encouraging role of constitutional treatment through individualised homoeopathic medicines in treating multimorbidity. However, more case studies and well-designed controlled research are warranted to further investigate the effect of homoeopathic intervention in multimorbidity.Item Homoeopathic intervention in dual autoimmune disorders: A case report on management of vitiligo and hashimoto thyroiditis(Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Saklani, Nitin KumarBackground: Vitiligo and Hashimoto Thyroiditis often occur as chronic autoimmune disorders that require careful evaluation and individualised management. This case study examines the usefulness of homoeopathic interventions in addressing the complexities of Vitiligo and Hashimoto Thyroiditis through evidence-based methodologies. Case Summary: A 57-year-old woman initially sought medical attention for a noticeable whitish discolouration on the left side of her lips. Subsequent evaluations unveiled the presence of hypothyroidism, marked by elevated Anti-TPO levels, exposing the dual autoimmune nature of her condition. The patient’s concerns centered on the aesthetic impact of vitiligo on her lips and the broader health implications of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. The coexistence of vitiligo and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis required simultaneous evaluation of both dermatological and thyroid-related findings. The patient underwent homoeopathic treatment at the outpatient department of the Regional Research Institute for Homoeopathy, Shimla. Following the intervention, recovery from the signs and symptoms of both vitiligo and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis was observed. Photographic evidence and serological investigations, including Serum TSH and anti-TPO, demonstrated significant improvement in the conditions. This evidence-based case report highlights the potential positive role of Homoeopathy in the management of complex dual autoimmune conditions, providing insights into the successful recovery of the patient both clinically and serologically.
