Randomized & Prospective study of 30C potency of Homoeopathic Medicines in case of Ureteric Calculus (age group: 20-60 years)
Ureteric calculi represent a highly prevalent global health burden, often requiring invasive surgical intervention or pharmaceutical management with potential adverse effects. Homoeopathy offers a non-invasive therapeutic alternative, yet rigorous randomized trials remain sparse.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of individualised homoeopathic medicines in 30C potency for facilitating the spontaneous expulsion of ureteric calculi (5–10 mm) and reducing associated morbidity in an adult population.
Methods: A randomized, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted with 60 participants aged 20 to 60 years diagnosed with solitary or multiple ureteric calculi via ultrasonography (USG). Participants were randomly allocated into two parallel groups: Group A (n=30, receiving individualised homoeopathic 30C remedies) and Group B (n=30, receiving identical placebos). Primary outcomes were evaluated by calculating the stone expulsion rate via repeat USG at Week 2 and Week 4. Secondary outcomes tracked pain reduction using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the frequency of analgesic requirement.
