Usefulness of the homeopathic repertory in the management of chronic suppurative otitis media
Nilanjana Basu

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is defined as a long-standing infection of a part or the entire middle ear cleft characterized by ear discharge and permanent perforation of the eardrum. The incidence of CSOM is higher in developing countries as a function of poor socioeconomic conditions and lack of proper health education. CSOM affects both sexes equally and is common to all age groups. In India, the prevalence rate is 46 and 16 cases per 1,000 people in rural and urban areas, respectively.1
CSOM might be effectively managed with homeopathic drugs. Apart from clinical experience, many authors recommend treating CSOM with homoeopathy. For instance, Shore reported his experience in treating cases of otitis media and compared different remedies cited in the homeopathic repertory.2 Blackwood suggested the use of Baryta carbonica for prevention, and Shankaran reported a cured case of cholesteatoma with homeopathic treatment.3
Various repertories, like Boger’s
Boenninghausen’s Characteristics Materia Medica & Repertory with Word Index (BCMM), Kent’s Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica and O.E. Boericke’s clinical Repertory, include several rubrics of related to CSOM. Cases might be sorted based on the evaluation of symptoms and the appropriate
repertory can be chosen.4 An intelligent use of repertory might make the prescriber’s work easier and improve the precision of prescriptions.
However, it should be reckoned that commonly prescriptions are made with or without use of repertory. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of homeopathic drugs selected based on repertory analysis verses non- repertorial methods in the management of CSOM.
