Abstract

Background: In the last 2 years of the pandemic, a wide range of cases of post-COVID functional gastrointestinal disorders (PC-FGIDs) has been reported.

Aim: This case series aimed to investigate the role of homeopathic intervention in the treatment of PC-FGIDs.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical data of individuals who had suffered from PC-FGIDs that were diagnosed based on clinical symptoms using the Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale (GSRS) and treated exclusively with individualized homeopathic medicines. Cases that had undergone regular monthly assessment using the GSRS and had a Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) score for up to 3 months were considered.

Results: Thirty cases were screened and twelve were included according to the study criteria. The mean age of seven women and five men was 36 years. GSRS and PCFS scores showed marked improvement in each of 10 cases within the 3-month treatment period.

Conclusion: Homeopathic intervention proved beneficial in 10 of 12 patients with PC-FGIDs. The findings may help researchers plan future controlled clinical studies in this field.

探索顺势疗法干预在 COVID 后功能性胃肠功能紊乱中的作用：12 位患者的病例系列。

背景：目的：本病例系列旨在研究顺势疗法干预在治疗PC-FGIDs中的作用：这是一项对PC-FGIDs患者临床数据的回顾性分析，根据临床症状使用胃肠道症状评分量表（GSRS）进行诊断，并完全采用个体化顺势疗法药物进行治疗。每月定期使用胃肠道症状量表（GSRS）对病例进行评估，并在 COVID-19 后对其功能状态（PCFS）进行长达 3 个月的评分：根据研究标准筛选出 30 个病例，其中 12 个病例被纳入研究范围。其中 7 名女性和 5 名男性的平均年龄为 36 岁。在 3 个月的治疗期内，10 个病例的 GSRS 和 PCFS 评分均有明显改善：结论：事实证明，顺势疗法干预对 12 例 PC-FGID 患者中的 10 例有益。结论：顺势疗法干预对 12 例 PC-FGID 患者中的 10 例均有疗效，这些发现可能有助于研究人员规划该领域未来的临床对照研究。
