“TO STUDY THE EFFICACY OF LM POTENCY IN MANAGEMENT OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA”
Dr. Parth Aphale* and Dr. Atul Rajgurav
ABSTRACT Background: Asthma is a disorder caused by inflammation in the airways (called bronchi) that lead to the lungs. This inflammation causes airways to tighten and narrow, which blocks air from flowing freely into the lungs, making it hard to breathe. Symptoms include wheezing, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough, particularly at night or after exercise/activity. The inflammation may be completely or partially reversed with or without medicines. Approximately 17 million Americans have asthma. The cost of illness related to asthma is around $6.2 billion per year in the United States. Each year, an estimated 1.81 million people with asthma require treatment in the emergency department with approximately 500,000 hospitalizations. Children younger than 18 years of age account for 47.8% of the emergency department visits and 34.6% of the hospitalizations due to asthma exacerbations. The magnitude of the impacts of asthma in children is illustrated by the fact that asthma accounts for more hospitalizations in children than any other chronic illness. Moreover, asthma causes children and adolescents to miss school and causes parents to miss days at work. As might be expected, asthma also accounts for more school absences than any other chronic illness. Methods: 30 cases of Bronchial Asthma were studied satisfying the case definition of Asthma. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were laid down. Assessment Criteria was laid down. Results: Observations with respect to age, sex, occupation, remedies was done and efficacy of L.M. Potency was analysed in these cases. Conclusion: L.M Potency is useful in treating cases of Asthma. Keywords: Bronchi, Inflammation, Wheezing, Asthma, L.M. Potency.
