De Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, on 1,204 patients over 18 months using ORIDL (Outcome Related to Impact on Daily Living), whose scale ranges from +4 to \u22124. Results were documented during each follow-up, continuing until the most recent visit at an average of 3 months.

The prevalence of the rubric \u201cPain, Knee, Motion, Amelioration\u201d was 18.8%. Among the enlisted ones, the medicines having LR \u2265 1.5 were Calcarea carbonicum LR(+) 1.7 (95% CI: 0.8 to 3.5) and Rhus toxicodendron LR(+) 2.3 (95% CI: 1.7 to 3.1). Some medicines with LR\u2009\u2265\u20091.5 that were not previously enlisted in the rubric were Arnica montana LR(+) 2.0 (95% CI: 0.9 to 4.3), Carbo vegetabilis LR(+) 1.8 (95% CI: 0.8 to 4.0), and Staphysagria macrosperma LR(+) 1.5 (95% CI: 0.5 to 5.0). Overall, the findings corroborated the medicines' listing under the rubric in Kent's repertory.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>There was substantial evidence to link some of the enlisted medicines with the said rubric.
