ABSTRACT
It was a phase 2, prospective clinical study to access the odds of cure when homoeopathic prescription will be based on Concomitant Symptoms. Concomitant symptoms are those symptoms that seemingly have no relation to the leading symptoms or the pathology of the case, yet are present in the patient. They are of tremendous value to the homoeopathic practitioner and are a pivotal understanding of homoeopathic practice. The study consists of detailed cases with before and after comparison of data of 30 patients (15 patient in the trial or experimental group and 15 patients in the placebo control group). Depending upon the criteria assessment changes were seen according to the scoring. Prescriptions made specifically on the basis of concomitant symptoms have shown beneficial effects on various ailments, whereas the patients in the placebo control group has not shown any remarkable recovery. From the above result and observations it is concluded that Homoeopathic prescriptions based on basis of concomitant symptoms have a great importance in the process of cure. No adverse effects were recorded during the study.
