10.	Lycopodium clavatum for the management of urolithiasis: A randomised double blind placebo controlled trial	Indian J Res Homoeopathy 2019;13:139-49.	Patients having symptomatology like Lycopodium clavatum were enrolled after screening and repertorisation as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis was carried out with an intention-to-treat approach, and missing values were handled using Last Observation Carry Forward method. There was not statistical significance between the groups (i.e. Verum and Placebo) (P = 0.31) in reference to the number of cases in which stones expelled during the trial.

A gastroenteritis symptom score (GSS) was designed to assess the severity of illness. The total mean gastroenteritis symptom score (GSS) evaluated at baseline and at end were 8.56, 4.26 and 0.45, 0.85, respectively. The difference in the mean score was found to be statistically significant (p= 0.0001).

Study reveals that the symptoms of Amoorarohituka, as available in literatures, have been reasonably verified and the additional symptoms which are not available in literatures have emerged as clinical symptoms.
15.	Ferrum Picricum: A Multicentric Clinical Verification Study conducted by CCRH	Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy Volume 2, No. 1, 2008	3465 patients were enrolled in the study. The study is an attempt to verify the symptoms of Ferrumpicricum, as available in the literature. Additional symptoms, which were not available in the literature, have also been emerged as the new clinical symptoms. These new information widens the scope of medicine.
