  • Abstract:
  • Background: Dysmenorrhea is a common gynaecological condition affecting adolescent girls, often leading to school absenteeism, reduced quality of life, and dependence on analgesics. Homeopathy, with its individualized approach and minimal side effects, presents a potential alternative to conventional treatment. Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment in managing primary dysmenorrhea in adolescent girls. Materials and Methods: A prospective, interventional clinical study was conducted on 50 adolescent girls aged 13–19 years diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea. Participants were selected from an outpatient department based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each patient received individualized homeopathic remedies based on totality of symptoms for a period of 3 consecutive menstrual cycles. The intensity and duration of pain were assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) before and after the treatment. Data were statistically analyzed using paired t-tests. Results: Significant improvement was observed in both intensity and duration of pain after the administration of individualized homeopathic remedies. The average VAS score reduced from 7.5 ± 1.2 to 3.1 ± 1.0 (p < 0.001). There was also a notable improvement in associated symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and irritability, as recorded in the MDQ. Conclusion: Individualized homeopathic treatment showed a clinically significant reduction in the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea among adolescent girls. These findings suggest that homeopathy can be considered a safe and effective alternative for managing dysmenorrhea, warranting further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods.
