Abstract

Post-COVID syndrome is increasingly recognized as a new clinical entity in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Symptoms persisting for more than three weeks after the diagnosis of COVID-19 characterize the post-COVID syndrome. Prolonged inflammation has a key role in its pathogenesis and may account for several symptoms. Long COVID is a term used to describe presence of various symptoms, even weeks or months after acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection irrespective of the viral status. There can be the persistence of one or more symptoms of acute COVID, or appearance of new symptoms. Most people with post-COVID syndrome are PCR negative, indicating microbiological recovery.


To determine the efficacy of homoeopathic medicines in post covid syndrome with emphasis on Dyspnea, fatigue & hair fall.


Data analysis includes statistical methods to assess the significance of changes in symptom severity over the treatment period. Additionally, subgroup analyses may be conducted to explore variations in treatment response based on demographic factors and comorbidities.


Out of 100 cases 77 patients of 77 % were improved and 23 patients of 23 % were not improved. The paired t-test resulted in a statistical value of (15.94), indicating a p-value of less than (<0.05). This indicates that the study was statistically significant; supporting the hypothesis that homoeopathy can improve post-Covid symptoms (Fatigue, Dyspnea and Hair fall).


The findings of this study could contribute valuable insights into the potential role of homoeopathic medicines in managing post-COVID syndrome, providing a complementary and holistic approach to alleviate dyspnea, fatigue, and hair fall. This research may inform future clinical practices and contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of integrative approaches to post-viral sequelae
