Utility of Synthesis Repertory in the Management of Convulsions

Convulsions accounts for significant proportion of the world?s disease burden. Globally, an estimated five million people are diagnosed with convulsive seizures each year. The occurrence of convulsions is unpredictable and often dangerous, increasing the risk of injury, hospitalization, mortality and adversely affecting patient?s mental health. To treat the same, anticonvulsant medication are not able to give permanent cure. Moreover, conventional therapy has significant adverse effects if taken for long. In order to prevent the patients to fall into dangerous situation, safest approach is required. Considering limitations of conventional treatment, I intended to investigate the effectiveness of Homoeopathy and utility of Synthesis Repertory 9.0 through Radar10 in the management of convulsions through proper case taking and prescribe medicine on the basis of symptom similarity. Result: Out of 50 random patients taken for my study, 42% showed mild improvement, 4% showed marked improvement and 19%showed no improvement after prescribing Homoeopathic medicine. Impact of Homoeopathic medicine on the patients was found to be statistically significant using paired t test. This study has shown the efficacy of Homoeopathy in management of convulsions. More study needs to be done to make people aware and realized that Homoeopathy also has scope in managing in the convulsion cases.
