ASSESSING THE EFFICACY OF INDIVIDUALIZED HOMEOPATHY IN INSOMNIA TREATMENT: A CASE REPORT UTILIZING THE PITTSBURGH SLEEP QUALITY INDEX

Abstract

This case report explores the successful use of individualized homeopathy, specifically Lycopodium, in treating chronic insomnia. Improvements were measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.

Case summary: A 57-year-old female with a 6-8-year history of insomnia, starting after her husband’s hemiplegic episode, which required night-time caregiving. Her insomnia, exacerbated by worry and sadness over her husband's condition, has progressively worsened, leaving her awake for significant periods each night.
