Objectives: To investigate the role of individualized homoeopathic medicines in treatment of the Musclo Skeletal Disorders (MSS) of the elderly. Materials and Methods: An Observational cohort study was done by the secondary data analysis of 278 patients (age group of 60-65 years) visiting the Homoeopathic hospital from a period of 10 years (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010) to observe the subjective relief with homoeopathic medicines in the Musclo Skeletal System Disorders (MSS). Result: In the study after using homoeopathic medicines, 7.32% of patients reported 25% relief, 35% of patients had 50% relief, 17% patients were better by 75%, 14% patients were free of pain and ease in mobility, while 16% patients reported no relief. Homoeopathic medicines like Kali Carb (27.3%), Silicea (21.2%), and Calcarea Flour (13.7%) were the most indicated remedies in the elderly patients with MSS complaints and centesimal scale (30C -38% of patients & 200C -59% of the patients) was the most common potency scale used. Conclusion: Homoeopathy is effective in offering subjective sense of relief in elderly patients from their MSS complaints.
Objectives: Boger’s Synoptic Key is a less frequently used repertory. Homoeopaths can use it very effectively if they have the appropriate understanding of Boger’s philosophy and the background concepts. This paper explores the essential background concepts for using Boger’s Synoptic Key through a case series. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was done of the cases successfully treated by the author in his private practice using Boger’s Synoptic Key. Analysis of symptoms and prescribing totality was done to identify the background concepts applied when using Boger’s Synoptic Key. Results: Concepts of tissue affinity, pathological generals, generalisation and consideration of modality and concomitant were identified as applied in case analysis and remedies arrived at through the use of Boger’s Synoptic Key. Conclusion: Boger’s Synoptic Key is a tool well integrated with the concepts of generalisation, tissue affinity, time dimension and pathological generals and their importance in disease evolution. Hence, it needs to be used with consideration of these concepts in case processing.
