REVERSAL OF PROGRESSIVE DISTAL SENSORIMOTOR POLYNEUROPATHY AT DR BATRA’S HOMEOPATHY: A 10-YEAR RESISTANT CASE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED WITH INDIVIDUALIZED REMEDY

Abstract

Distal sensorimotor polyneuropathy is a chronic, progressive neurological disorder characterized by degeneration of peripheral nerves leading to sensory loss, motor weakness, and disability. Globally, its prevalence is rising due to increasing incidence of diabetes, infections, and autoimmune conditions. Conventional management remains largely palliative, focusing on glycemic control and symptomatic relief, with limited success in reversing nerve damage. This case highlights a 35-year-old male with a 10-year history of progressive neuropathy following borderline tuberculoid leprosy and poorly controlled diabetes. Despite prolonged allopathic treatment, the disease progressed relentlessly, resulting in severe sensory loss extending from limbs to face, muscle wasting, trophic ulcers, functional disability, and profound psychological distress including suicidal ideation. An individualized homeopathic approach based on totality of symptoms, miasmatic understanding, and constitutional prescribing was adopted. Kali Bromatum 200 was selected as the constitutional remedy. Over a period of 2 years, the patient showed marked improvement with arrest of disease progression, gradual return of sensation, improved muscle strength, weight gain, and restoration of functional independence. This case demonstrates the potential role of classical homeopathy in managing chronic neuropathic conditions where conventional therapy fails, leading to significant functional and emotional recovery. A remarkable transformation was achieved at Dr Batra’s Homeopathy Clinic.
