This research was conducted to determine the efficacy of Choresan (R36) ® on children
with “Specific Learning Disabilities”. Choresan (R36) ® is a complex homoeopathic
formulation indicated for use in mild nervous disorders, physical restlessness, tics and
spasms and muscular twitching (Dr. Reckeweg and Co. GMBH, 2009). Choresan
(R36)® contains a combination of homoeopathic remedies that lend to usage for the
symptomology associated with Specific Learning Disabilities.
Specific Learning Disabilities are defined as a group of basic psychological processes
which affect the understanding and use of language (written and spoken). Individuals
present with an inability to learn as well as restlessness or hyperactivity (Webb, 2008).
The management of Specific Learning Disabilities is two fold, namely education and
scheduled drugs. The use of antipsychotic and stimulant drugs have problematic long
term efficacy with adverse side effects (Matson and Neal, 2009). This study was
conducted to determine if homoeopathic medicine may be able to suggest a safer, side
effect free alternative.
