Abstract	Hallucinations are perception-like experiences occurring without an external stimulus and may arise in psychiatric, neurological, substance-related, sleep-related, and other clinical contexts. The submitted dissertation describes Stramonium as a homeopathic remedy traditionally associated with fear, terror, and vivid hallucinations, while also noting the limited empirical literature evaluating it. Objective: To document clinical changes in hallucination-related symptoms and associated psychological features among five patients who received individualized homeopathic treatment with Stramonium. Methods: A clinical case-series design with an observational pre–post framework was used. Five patients presenting with hallucinations and attending an outpatient clinic in Bengaluru between January 2025 and January 2026 were selected purposively. Participants underwent detailed case-taking, mental status examination, homeopathic repertorization, remedy selection, and follow-up assessment. Descriptive statistics were used because of the small sample size. Results: The five documented cases included three males and two females, with ages reported between 20 and 75 years in the study summary. The source tables describe visual hallucinations in all five cases, with associated fear, anxiety, sleep disturbance, headache, or other symptoms. Follow-up records document reduction in hallucination intensity/frequency and improvement in associated distress, sleep, behaviour, or general well-being in the selected cases. All five cases were described as clinically improved. Conclusion: The case series documents a pattern of clinical improvement temporally associated with individualized Stramonium treatment. However, the sample was small, purposively selected, lacked a control group, and relied primarily on clinical observation. The findings are therefore preliminary and hypothesis-generating and cannot establish causal efficacy. Larger controlled studies using validated outcome measures are required. Keywords: hallucinations; visual hallucinations; Stramonium; homeopathy; case series; psychological assessment; clinical observation.
