STEPS OF REPERTORISATION

STEPS OF REPERTORISATION

Definition of repertorisation: Repertorisation is a process of searching for the most suitable medicine by comparing symptoms of a patient with those listed in a repertory.

Steps of Repertorisation:

1. Collection of symptoms → Analyse the patient’s symptoms and gather them in a systematic way. → Consider only those symptoms that are characteristic of the patient.
2. Classification of symptoms into groups → Categorise the symptoms according to their nature (Modalities), location (Part), sensation, emotion, and other characteristics.
3. Evaluation of symptoms → Assess the relative importance of each symptom. → Identify the most characteristic symptoms of the patient’s case.
4. Reference to repertory → Use the repertory to search for medicines that match the patient’s symptoms. → Check the repertory for the most characteristic symptoms.
5. Analysis of the results → Evaluate the medicines that match the patient’s symptoms. → Identify the medicines that match most of the patient’s symptoms.
6. Comparison of medicines → Compare the medicines that match the patient’s symptoms. → Select the medicine that matches most of the patient’s symptoms.
7. Selection of the simillimum → Evaluate the medicines that match the patient’s symptoms. → Select the medicine that matches most of the patient’s symptoms and has the most characteristic symptoms.

Importance of each step in reaching simillimum:

1. Collection of symptoms is important as it provides a clear idea of the patient’s case.
2. Classification of symptoms is important as it helps in identifying the characteristics of the patient’s symptoms.
3. Evaluation of symptoms is important as it helps in identifying the most characteristic symptoms of the patient’s case.
4. Reference to repertory is important as it provides a list of medicines that match the patient’s symptoms.
5. Analysis of the results is important as it helps in evaluating the medicines that match the patient’s symptoms.
6. Comparison of medicines is important as it helps in selecting the medicine that matches most of the patient’s symptoms.
7. Selection of the simillimum is important as it provides the most suitable medicine for the patient’s case.
