ABSTRACT
Background: In women, having an LSCS scar, is distressing and can damage a person's body image, self-esteem, identity, and social interactions. It was seen that homoeopathic medicines had positive effects on scar resolution but the scientific studies for showing its effectiveness are rarely found. This study is designed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Thiosinaminum 3x in dissolving LSCS scar in women of sangareddy.
Objectives: 1. To Assess the effectiveness of Thiosinaminum in dissolving LSCS Scar.
2. To compare the effectiveness of Thiosinaminum 3X potency in women having the LSCS scar for a duration of 1 [Group-A] and 2 years [Group-B].
Materials and methods: The study was conducted among women having LSCS Scar for the duration of not more than 2 years from different areas of Sangareddy, out of which 30 patients were selected by simple random method. The women were advised to take Thiosinaminum 3x. Vancouver scar scale was used to assess the scar among these individuals.
Results: In assessing the Objective – 1, there was statistical difference found with the use of Thiosinaminum3x in dissolving LSCS Scar in both the groups, thus accepting the alternate hypothesis. Whereas for Objective – 2, in comparing both the groups, ‘P-value’ of the test between the groups was more than 0.005 which shows that Thiosinaminum had shown its effect under both the groups and there is not much variation in them. Irrespective of the duration of the scar, Thiosinaminum 3x had found to be effective in scar dissolution.
Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that Thiosinaminum 3x acts effectively in dissolving LSCS Scar as there was difference noted in the total scar score obtained before and after medication. Among the two groups selected for the study, there was no statistical difference found in the action of Thiosinaminum 3x. While in assessing the individual parameters of the scar scale, much difference was found in vascularity and pigmentation in Group A, whereas in pigmentation and pliability for Group B.
