Item Colloid nodular goitre treated with homoeopathic medicine Natrum muriaticum in LM potency: A case report(2023) Parveen, SuraiaAhmed, ZeeshanIntroduction: Colloid goitre is a common, benign lesion in the thyroid gland, involving a diffuse or nodular pattern. It is a clinical entity characterised by subsequent growth, structural or functional transformation of one or more areas within the normal thyroid tissue. A thyroid nodule can grow to be visible, which becomes a cosmetic concern for the patient. Case Summary: A 32-year-old female presented with the complaint of swelling on the right side of her neck for the past 1½ years. The case was diagnosed by ultrasonography as a right-sided colloid nodular goitre with internal cystic degeneration. She was advised by a surgeon for a right hemithyroidectomy. To avoid the surgery, she sought homoeopathic treatment. Based on the characteristic totality and individualisation, homoeopathic medicine Natrum muriaticum was prescribed in LM potencies, after which the nodular goitre’s size was significantly reduced as observed on examination. The causal attribution between the homoeopathic intervention and the outcome of treatment was assessed by the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy score which suggested that the improvement in the patient can be attributed to the homoeopathic treatment provided. This clinical case report shows the positive effect of individualised homoeopathic treatment in colloid nodular goitre.Item Homoeopathic treatment of oral leucoplakia: A case report(2024) Parveen, SuraiaAhmed, ZeeshanIntroduction: Oral leucoplakia (OL), a premalignant lesion which is more frequently encountered in elderly people, is defined as a white lesion of the oral mucosa. Smoking is one of the most common risk factors. Conventionally, surgical excision is the most recommended treatment option for OL. Case Summary: A 55-year-old male presented with the complaint of a whitish lesion inside the left angle of the mouth (buccal mucosa) for the past 1½ years. The case was clinically diagnosed as OL. He was advised for surgical excision, but he preferred to go for homoeopathic treatment. Based on characteristic symptoms, repertorial analysis and individualisation, homoeopathic medicine Kali iodatum (200C and 1M) followed by Syphilinum 200C was prescribed. Over 14 months of treatment, the patient initially improved with Kali iodatum followed by total remission of the lesion by Syphilinum. Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy (MONARCH) was used to evaluate the attribution of recovery to homoeopathic treatment. The MONARCH score was (+8 on a ‘?6 to +13’ scale), which is indicative of the possibility of patient’s improvement resulting from the homoeopathic treatment. This clinical case report demonstrates the beneficial effects of individualised homoeopathic treatment for the management of premalignant lesions like OL.
