Anil Vangani, Anjali Thakur

In my research study after stastical analysis and the proper follow ups of all 90 cases the effects of three indicated medicines i.e. Ferrum Picricum, Methylene Blue, Salicylic Acid gives almost equal effects on the patients suffering from seropositive RA which satisfies my research hypothesis. In my study mean age of the Rheumatoid Arthritis patient was 41.11±9.67 Yrs (Mean ± SD), the maximum number of cases from age group 40-50 years (35.56%). Rheumatoid Arthritis patient was common in female patient ( n=51, 56.67%) than the male patients (n=39, 43.33%) during my study. It shows that - Rheumatoid Arthritis is more common in female patients. In my study Rheumatoid Arthritis patient’s prevalence is equal in rural area (n=45, 50%) and urban area (n=45, 50%). Paired t-test was used for analysing the pre and post treatment (after 6 months) scores individually for each medicinal group. After applying the paired t-test show that the changes in the symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis for all three medicines is highly significant that means result shows lowering the intensity and severity of symptoms related to Rheumatoid Arthritis by each medicine in aspect of joint involved, RF, CRP, ACPA, ESR. Ferrum Picricum, Methylene Blue and Salicylic Acid drugs are effective in cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis. After using the paired T-test it showed that the null hypothesis is rejected and alternative or research hypothesis is approved. It means Homoeopathic medicines as mentioned in clinical rubric indicated in Clarke’s clinical repertory are effective in management of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Key Word - Rheumatoid Arthritis, RF, CRP, ACPA, ESR, Joint etc.
