Vitiligo Research at Life Force:
One of the unique strengths of Life Force is that it has a research wing connected with the clinic, which is ISO 9001:2000 certified. At Life Force, there are ongoing research projects for various diseases. Vitiligo is one of them.
Dr Shah believes very strongly that if homeopathy has to be made available to larger segment in the world, it will have to be supported by research. Research in homeopathy as per modern research protocols will be required for better results and advancements. Homeopathy is a treasure yet not fully tapped. It is only scientific research, which will help grow this faculty of medical science.
Vitiligo Clinical trials:
At this point Dr Rajesh Shah, MD is working some research projects, which include a major vitiligo clinical trial using homeopathic medicines. Ethics committee, formed as per ICMR guidelines, approves these projects. The research is being conducted with all scientific parameters applied in the conventional medical research. Dr Shah is the principal investigator (PI) for the project.
