  • Abstract:
  • Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies. Early-stage cases may be managed conservatively. Homoeopathy, based on individualization, may help in reducing inflammation and avoiding surgical intervention in selected cases. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic medicines in early-stage acute appendicitis. Methods: A prospective case series study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with early acute appendicitis. Patients were treated with individualized homoeopathic medicines based on totality of symptoms. Clinical improvement was assessed using pain score, tenderness grading, and need for surgical intervention. Results: Out of 30 cases, 24 (80%) showed significant improvement without surgery, while 6 (20%) required surgical referral. Pain scores and tenderness significantly reduced (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Individualized homoeopathic treatment may be effective in managing early-stage acute appendicitis and can reduce the need for surgical intervention in selected cases.
