Abstract

This prospective observational study explores the effectiveness of individualized homeopathic intervention as an alternative to analgesics in managing arthralgia. Conducted over 18 months at Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru State Homoeopathic Medical College & Hospital, Kanpur, U.P., the study involved 200 patients with generalized joint pain, knee joint pain, shoulder joint pain, and heel joint pain. Utilizing the law of similars, homeopathic medicines were prescribed, with Rhus toxicodendron being the most frequently recommended. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain severity demonstrated a statistically significant improvement after 6 months of treatment (mean decrease of -3.39 on VAS, p < .00001). Findings suggest that individualized homeopathic treatment offers a promising alternative for arthralgia management, emphasizing the need for further research and contributing valuable insights to holistic patient care.
