Abstract :
Aim: Prolonged grief disorder (PGD), which
is also known as persistent complex bereavement
disorder, is a recently acknowledged mental health
condition that affects 10% of adult bereaved individuals.
Prolonged grief disorder is often overlooked, and there is
a need for more comprehensive research and evaluation
of prevention, early intervention, and treatment
modalities and their suitable provision for individuals,
families, or groups.
Therefore, the goal of our narrative review is to
evaluate the effectiveness of various treatments and
homoeopathic medications for prolong grief condition.
Method: To find clinical research publications, a
thorough computerised literature search was performed.
The Thieme-E-Journal of Homoeopathy, Wiley, Google
Scholar, Medline, Research Gate, PubMed, Cochrane,
and Science Direct were searched, and relevant
publications were used for review. Only human subject'
clinical studies were considered in this review.
Experiments on animals and trials were not included.
Complete research publications were found.
Results: A preliminary search yielded 20 articles,
with 15 relevant research articles remaining after
removing the duplicate ones. A total of seven articles
were selected for the narrative review, which included
homoeopathy, Cognitive behavioural therapy, and music
therapy.
Conclusion: This review concluded that
homoeopathic medicines and other alternative therapies
are safe and effective for the cases of persistent complex
bereavement disorder. To strengthen the evidence, more
randomised placebo-controlled studies should be carried
out.
