ABSTRACT
Introduction: Wound healing consists of a perfect and coordinated cascade of events that result in tissue reconstitution. According to Indian studies on wound epidemiology, the frequency of chronic wounds in the community is 4.5 per 1000 people, but the prevalence of acute wounds is nearly doubled at 10.5 per 1000 people. The likelihood of increased rates of disability and lowering quality of life as a result of wounds was a primary motivator for this research. Homoeopathy has wonderful medicines which impacts the wound healing. It not only causes enhances wound healing it also improves the number of days that a wound takes to heal. It helps in managing the outcomes of abnormal wound healing. Both internally administered and external applied Homoeopathic medicine causes wounds to heal at much steady rate and also prevents the abnormal healing of the wounds. Hence this study was taken up to show the efficacy of Homoeopathic remedies that can be used both internally and externally in the cases of wounds.
Material and Methods: An experimental study was conducted with a sample size of 30 patients with different types of wounds from all socio-economical conditions which were fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria. Consent from parents was taken. Case taking as per case recording format case was done. Followed by case processing, a similimum matching the totality of symptoms was given to the patient. The outcome assessment criteria were classified as improved and not improved on the basis of Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool. The results were analyzed by using Paired t Test and outcome was assessed by the degree of improvement as per Bates Jensen Wound Assessment Tool.
Results: The results were very promising. Out of 30 cases, 28 cases showed improvement and 2 cases were not improved. Statistical analysis was done with the help of ‘paired t-test. The inference is concluded that the p value is <0.00001. Hence, we can conclude that, result is significant at p<0.05.
Conclusion: The study concludes that Homoeopathic medicine when used internally and externally has shown enhanced healing of wounds.
Key words: Wound healing, Homoeopathic Management, External application.
