Brief Summary
|
This quasi-experimental time-series study evaluates the
efficacy of individualized homeopathic medicines in treating Premenstrual
Syndrome (PMS) among 55 women aged 18-40, diagnosed using ACOG criteria. The
study employs a two-phase design: a 3-month placebo phase with monthly
Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS) assessments followed by a 3-month active
treatment phase with individualized homeopathic remedies. The primary outcome
measures the change in total PMSS scores from baseline to treatment completion,
assessing overall symptom severity reduction. The study focuses on core PMS
symptoms across physiological, psychological, and behavioral domains while
excluding participants on hormonal or psychiatric medications. This design
provides longitudinal data on homeopathic treatment effects while maintaining
clinical practicality in a real-world setting. |
