Abstract :
Background-
The prevalence of knee osteoarthritis is high
Comparing Indians to Western individuals, and the
prevalence of frequent squatting in daily routines,
particularly among women.
In osteoarthritis, Pathological alterations have
occurred in all joint structures. Individuals who do not
exhibit favourable responses to traditional medical
treatments and are either unwilling undergo surgical
procedures have a specific requirement for such
medications. The objective of this study was to
investigate whether homoeopathic medicines can
effectively address the management of knee joint pain in
individuals with Osteoarthritis.
Method-
The eligibility criteria are as follows: Papers were
evaluated and chosen based on the homoeopathic
medicine used in this study using PICO Criteria., which
met the following criteria:-
Year 2000- 2022
Sample size, Age group, Male And Female Ratio.
Method Use For Study
Outcome Measure
Published in English
Homeopathic medicine is used.
Information Source-Relevant literature or research
articles were taken from various databases such as
PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Hombrex, and
Research Gate.
Result-
A comprehensive review identified a Total of 33
Experimental and Controlled clinical trials for
screening. Thorough screening, the number of eligible
papers was determined to be 23. Some articles lacked
information on age groups, and there were discrepancies
in properly specifying the male-to-female ratio.
Additionally, certain studies did not incorporate any
outcome measures.
Conclusion-
In this study, we clearly understand that
homeopathic therapeutic medicine work well on
Osteoarthritis. Rhus Toxicodendron medicine is used in
9 articles. Then Calcarea Flour 5, Calcarea carb 4, and
Bryonia Alba 4 in Article were used. Individualized
homeopathic medicine was ineffective due to a lack of
trial reports.
The most commonly used scales are the WOMAC
Scale, VAS Scale, and KOOS Score pain measuring
movement, duration of rest, stiffness, and incidence of
OA.
For Radiological assessment Kellgren and
Lawrence systems of classification of knee osteoarthritis
severity 5 grade classification and X ray knee used.
