Study of Efficacy of Homoeopathic Medicine in Cases of Hyperthyroidism

Abstract

Hyperthyroidism is a set of disorders that involve excess synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, which leads to the hyper metabolic condition of thyrotoxicosis. The most common forms of hyperthyroidism include diffuse toxic goiter (Graves’ disease), toxic multinodular goiter (Plummer disease), and toxic adenoma. The primary objective of the study was to study the efficacy of Homoeopathic Medicine in cases of Hyperthyroidism.

One group (Medicinal Group) comprising 15 cases received appropriate Homoeopathic medicine prescribed on symptoms similarity, while other group (Control group) comprising 15 cases received Placebo along with Dietary advice.

Conclusion: The study shows that Homoeopathic medicines are significantly effective in the management of cases of hyperthyroidism.
