A REVIEW: ROLE OF HOMOEOPATHY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GOUT

The term "gout" is commonly used to refer to painful arthritis, but gouty arthritis is only one manifestation of gout. The accumulation of uric acid in the joints is the cause. Joint inflammation is the result of uric acid build-up. The amount of uric acid in our bodies increases as the number of purines in our diets increases. The creation of uric acid is a result of purines. This contribution aims to offer a straightforward method based on general introduction, the causes, justifications for studying, 
the efficacy, and the rules of homeopathic medicine. Relevant studies were identified by a comprehensive literature search in electronic databases, a reference list of relevant papers. Randomized controlled trials comparing individualized homeopathic treatment strategy with placebo were eligible and case report. A comprehensive computerized literature search was carried out to find clinical research Articles. Pub med, Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL), and two specialty databases called Core-Hom and Cam-Quest, Medline, Google scholars, science direct, and Thieme – E-journal of homeopathy were searched extensively. Only human-based clinical trials were included in this review. Animal trials, and pilot studies were not included. Clinical trials (randomized or non-randomized), and observational studies were included in this study. All randomized doubleblind placebo-controlled prospective observational clinical research articles were included. Nine papers met the criteria for my study. The four are randomized trials, three are clinical trials in which two are case reports on hyperuricemia, which are treated with homeopathic medicine & one is an observational trial.
