Abstract

Background: Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) affects a significant proportion of women, with symptoms ranging from emotional to physical discomfort. There is growing interest in complementary therapies, such as homeopathy, as an alternative or adjunct to conventional treatments.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathy in managing symptoms of PMS by reviewing the existing clinical evidence.

Methodology: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing clinical trials and observational studies that assess the outcomes of homeopathic treatments in patients with PMS. Databases were searched for relevant articles, and studies were evaluated based on inclusion criteria related to population, intervention, and study design.

Result: The findings indicate mixed outcomes, with some studies reporting significant symptom relief following homeopathic treatment, while others demonstrate limited efficacy. Variability in study design and sample size contributed to inconsistent results.

Conclusion: Homeopathy shows potential in alleviating certain symptoms of PMS; however, the heterogeneity of evidence suggests that further well-designed trials are necessary to draw definitive conclusions about its efficacy.
