    Lateral venous ulcer treated with Homoeopathy using a miasmatic approach
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2024) Moorthi, Karunakara; Reshma, P.
    Introduction: Loss of all or a portion of the dermis, as well as the epidermis, causes an open sore known as an ulcer. Venous leg ulcers are late signs of venous hypertension and chronic venous insufficiency. Long-term ulcers are difficult to heal and lastly opted for skin grafting and surgery conventionally. This case report provides insight into the treatment of venous ulcer with homoeopathy using the miasmatic approach and helps to provide evidence for further research in this area. Case Summary: A 61-year-old female presented with ulceration near the lateral malleolus of her left leg for the past 6 years. The non-healing ulcer was successfully treated with homoeopathic treatment within 1 year. After case taking, Syphilinum 200C was prescribed considering the miasmatic expression, resulting in symptomatic improvement and Calendula Q externally for an initial 30 days as supportive care followed by Sulphur 200C toward the end of treatment. Homoeopathic medicines led to a remarkable improvement, it was measured using the leg ulcer measurement tool along with photographic evidence and Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy. Conclusion: The result was encouraging, exclusively with Homoeopathy medicine; yet, for stronger evidence, more extensive, rigorous research projects are required.

    Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease with vocal cord oedema treated with individualised homoeopathic medicine
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2024) Pal, Partha Pratim; Nahar, Laijun
    Introduction: The diagnosis of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) is still ambiguous due to limited and cumbersome diagnostic standards. To achieve regression of both symptoms and laryngeal findings due to LPRD, it typically requires more vigorous and sustained treatment. In certain patients with chronic acid or non-acid reflux, surgery may be helpful. Case Summary: This is the case of a 68-year-old man who was diagnosed with LPRD and had vocal cord oedema. individualised homoeopathic medicine, Natrum sulphuricum, was prescribed, and the patient improved steadily in terms of signs and symptoms and had no further complaints at the end of 16 months. The patient’s improvement was assessed using the outcome related to the impact on daily living scale (ORIDL). Clinical improvement was correlated with objective evidence from the laryngoscopy report. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homoeopathy score (+8 on the ‘−6 to +13’ scale) determines if the patient’s progress can be attributed to the homoeopathic treatment. This case report implies that homoeopathy may be an appropriate choice for treating LPRD with vocal cord oedema cases. This is the rare instance of a documented LPRD case report associated with vocal cord oedema followed by a successful therapeutic homoeopathic treatment. For further conclusion regarding the disease, more studies are warranted.
