In India, the escalating incidence of DFUs has markedly increased the frequency of lower-limb amputations. This case sought to examine the potential wound healing efficacy of homeopathic medicines as part of an integrative approach to DFUs management, demonstrated through evidence-based case reports. Case Presentation: Patient presenting with DFU classified as Wagner grade 2 and with a 12-year history of diabetes were managed using individualized homeopathic treatment. Alongside homeopathic intervention, patients continued their prescribed oral hypoglycemic agents for glycemic control and adhered to routine wound-dressing protocols. DFU was monitored until complete healing using the Leg Ulcer Measurement Tool (LUMT). Neuropathic involvement was evaluated via the 10 g monofilament tactile test, while the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy Inventory (MONARCH) tool was employed to determine the probability of a causal relationship between the observed clinical improvement and the homeopathic treatment. Within 12 weeks, the DFU demonstrated notable healing, reflected in a significant reduction in LUMT scores. The MONARCH tool assessment yielded a score of +8, strongly suggesting a causal link between the observed therapeutic outcomes and the homeopathic intervention. The homeopathic remedies administered were found to contribute effectively to the patient\u2019s recovery. Conclusion: Adjuvant Homeopathic treatment appeared to play a supportive role in expediting the healing process of DFU within a clinically acceptable timeframe.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000548972","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,19]],"date-time":"2026-01-19T17:00:54Z","timestamp":1768842054000},"page":"69-78","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Chronic Diabetic Foot Ulcer Treated with Homoeopathy as Adjuvant in an Integrative Management Model: An Evidence-Based Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Rajat Kumar","family":"Pal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1420-5755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suman","family":"Chandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Swarup","family":"Biswas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1320-9567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Doly","family":"Chakraborty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinepi.2017.04.026"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0044-1779723"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00129334-200405000-00018"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.53945\/2320-7094.1931"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijrh.ijrh_87_19"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-8587(23)00119-5"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jval.2017.08.489"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcot.2021.01.017"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1701251"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctim.2015.12.019"}],"container-title":["Complementary Medicine Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000548972","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]],"date-time":"2026-03-09T17:01:44Z","timestamp":1773075704000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000548972"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,19]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,9]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,11]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000548972","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.31080898","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["2504-2092","2504-2106"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2504-2092","type":"print"},{"value":"2504-2106","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,19]]}}}
