        abstract = {Background: Nephrolithiasis (renal calculi) is a common urological disorder characterized by the formation of stones within the urinary tract. Patients frequently experience renal colic, haematuria, dysuria, and recurrence. Homoeopathy offers an individualized therapeutic approach that may facilitate stone expulsion and symptomatic relief. Objective:  To evaluate the effectiveness of Lycopodium clavatum in patients suffering from nephrolithiasis. Methods:  A prospective case series study was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with nephrolithiasis through ultrasonography. Lycopodium was prescribed according to homoeopathic principles. Patients were followed for six months. Outcomes assessed included reduction in stone size, pain intensity, urinary symptoms, and stone expulsion. Results: Among 30 patients, complete stone expulsion occurred in 18 (60%), significant reduction in stone size in 8 (26.7%), moderate improvement in 3 (10%), and no significant improvement in 1 (3.3%). Mean pain score decreased from 8.1 ± 1.2 at baseline to 1.9 ± 0.8 after treatment. Conclusion: Lycopodium demonstrated favourable outcomes in symptom relief and stone expulsion among patients with nephrolithiasis. Larger controlled studies are recommended to validate these findings.},
