Abstract:
Periarticular disorder is a group of disease conditions that affect structures around the joints. The study aims to find out the efficiency of homoeopathic medicine administered based on disease activity in the periarticular lesion of the upper and lower limb with its extent of the possibility of relief. The Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data (RAPID 3) means scores before and after treatment in 30 cases showed a significant difference at <0.05 level on the paired t-test. This single centre pre-post experimental study result reveals that homoeopathic medicine administered based on disease activity symptoms is effective in reducing the sufferings of the patient in functional inability, pain and a patient global estimate. An estimate of proportion at a 95% confidence interval on relief in 30 cases has shown a value 50-84%, indicating that the extent of the possibility of relief is up to the upper bond of 84%. Disease activity symptoms are symptoms of particular disease condition with aetiology.
