Exploring the role of individualized Homoeopathy in preventing Gout Flares During the Intercritical phase: A Systematic review

Abstract Gout is an inflammatory arthritis caused by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition, triggered by hyperuricemia. The intercritical period, an asymptomatic phase between acute flares, represents a critical window for long-term management to prevent disease progression. Conventional therapies often require lifelong adherence with associated side effects, necessitating exploration of complementary approaches like homeopathy. Objective: This review aims to evaluate the efficacy of homeopathic remedies in managing gout during the intercritical period, identify effective interventions, and address existing research gaps. Methods: A systematic search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines across PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, EMBASE, and homeopathic journals. Studies focusing on homeopathic interventions during the intercritical period were included, with outcomes like reduction in flare frequency, serum uric acid levels, and patient-reported outcomes assessed. Quality assessment tools such as the Cochrane RoB Tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale were applied. Results: Fifteen studies, including RCTs, observational studies, and case series, were analyzed. Individualized homeopathy showed promise in reducing serum uric acid levels and frequency of flares during the intercritical period. Remedies like Colchicum, Lycopodium, and Urtica urens were highlighted for their effectiveness. However, limitations included small sample sizes, lack of control groups, and variable methodologies. Conclusion: Homeopathy offers a holistic approach to managing gout during the intercritical period by addressing hyperuricemia and preventing flares. While initial evidence is promising, robust, large-scale clinical trials and mechanistic studies are necessary to validate these findings and integrate homeopathy into standard gout management protocols
