Vicharchika is one among kshudrakushtha and also coming under Raktapradoshaja Vikara having
involvement of three Dosha with
dominance of Kapha. Lakshanas of vicharchika include kandu (itching), pidaka (papulation), syavavarna (discoloration) and lasika (oozing). Most of these
features show similarity with symptoms of the disease
eczema. As being a localized
rakthapradoshajavikara, rakthamoksha by pracchana is an effective method of treatment in vicharchika.
The present study is designed to find
out the added effect of pracchana along
with conventional treatment in the management of vicharchika
in reducing the signs and symptoms and to
evaluate the changes in clinical and hematological parameters. The study is a
comparative clinical trial. The
participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and divided into 2 groups, Group A and Group B
consisting of 21 participants in each group. Both groups were given Patolakaturohinyadi
kashaya 90 ml and 1 Kaishora guggulu tablet
internally in morning and evening and
daily kshalana of affected area is
done with Thriphala kashaya for a period of 21 days. In addition to this,
participants of group A were subjected with a single sitting of Pracchana in 8th day.
Clinical assessments were done with
regard to kandu, pidaka, syava and lasika. The changes in local blood
parameters - TWBC, Eosinophil count,
ESR, pO2 &
pCO2 were analysed.
The assessments were taken before
and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using the most appropriate
statistical tests.
The result showed that pracchana reduces kandu, shyava and lasika
of vicharchika and show significant additional effect in reducing lasika and
improving local blood parameters Total WBC, Eosinophil, ESR, pCO2 and pO2.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and their tendons
that hold the shoulder joint in place by attaching the scapula to the humerus
and covering the head of the humerus.Rotator cuff stabilises the shoulder joint
and helps in moving the shoulder.The 4 muscles and their tendons that form the
rotator cuff are supraspinatus,infraspinatus,teres minor and
subscapularis.Symptoms of rotator cuff include pain and tenderness in the
shoulder,pain on raising the arm,weakness of the shoulder and pain when
sleeping on the affected side.Symptoms and signs of rotator cuff can be closely
related with snayuvidhalakshana explained
in susrutha samhitha sutrasthana.
Study design is
formulated as interventional pre and post study
without control.Sample size is taken as 30.Patients of both sex attending in
OPD and IPD of government ayurveda college Trivandrum within the age group of
20 -50 years diagnosed as having rotator cuff injury by MRI, which occurred
within 6 months duration as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria is
selected for the study.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)is the most
common entrapment neuropathy of upper extremity. It affects approximately 3% of
the general adult population in the world. Women are three times more likely to
have CTS than men. Activities that are main cause of entrapment of median nerve
in CTS are those requiring repetitive
wrist flexion and extension. Clinical features of CTS are pain, numbness and
paresthesias over thumb, index finger ,
middle finger and lateral half of ring finger, weakness and restricted movements
of wrist and hand. In conventional
system , medications such as
corticosteroids, Non - Steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs, etc. are used in
management of carpal tunnel syndrome. Surgical decompression of carpal tunnel
is the main stay of treatment for CTS.
The structures involved in carpal
tunnel is mainly the tendons,
ligaments and nerves which can closely
related with snayu, thus Carpal tunnel
syndrome can be correlated with
snayugata vata affecting manibandhasandhi .
Dahanopkarana used for vatavyadi affecting snayu, santhi, asthi are
kshaudra, Guda, Sneha. Agnikarma
with snigdha dravyas have more
penetrating capacity than rooksha dravyas like shalaka. So, taptaguda is taken
in the present study to assess the effect of Agnikarma in carpal tunnel
syndrome. Participant’ssatisfying the
inclusion and exclusion criteria will be treated with Agnikarma using taptaguda
over the most painful and tender points along the course of median nerve. Statistical analysis will be done. Key words: Agnikarma,ManibandhaSanayugata
vata, Tapta guda,Carpal tunnelsyndrome.
