Abstract:-Homeopathic medicines are popular across the globe for their unique nature of administration and manufacturing process. Evolutions of various schools of thoughts have created a therapeutic nihilism among the homeopathic principles of practice. Relevant communication and procrastinating follow ups added a call for development of newer formulation other than ultra molecular dilutions. In this context the novel tool for analysing the collective evidence for support of scientific homeopathy similar to clinical trial evaluation by Jadad score as well as Downs-Black scoring enlighten the path for development of effective logical platform for homeopathic system of medicine. Critical appraisal and meta analysis inform us about true nature and inner essence of facts and figures involved in published data. Difference between quality and quantity for essential impact of clinical trials in homeopathy can be better explained by such outfits. Unprejudiced estimate of accurately classified research question can be more precisely tested with such valuable equipments. This will help to remove the pitfalls and bizarre impression about homeopathy. Pain is a global health issue and desires a special attention while managing. Almost every school of medicine claims therapeutic privileges over the last few decades. Conventional medicine undoubtedly advanced in its treat modalities. However complementary and alternative medicine has also improved to better clinical outcomes. Likewise homeopathy in such case also carried few clinical trials with formulation in spite of single medicine.
