Materials and Methods: A single group study was undertaken in which, 30 patients of Dusta Prathishyaya were randomly selected and were subjected to Asava Nasya - 4 Bindu (2ml) each nostril for 7 days. The patients were assessed with severity of symptoms subjectively and objectively before and after treatment. Data obtained was statistically analysed. Result and Discussion: In overall effect of treatment in Dusta Prathishyaya, out of 30 patients, 3 patients (10%) got moderate improvement, 23 patients (76.6%) got marked improvement and 4 patients (13.33%) got significant improvement. In overall effect of treatment, statistical analysis showed that the mean score which was 6.86 in before treatment was reduced to 4.81 in after treatment and further reduced to 1.86 in follow up, and there is a statistically significant change (P<0.001). Conclusion: The present study showed highly significant results in which the symptoms like Nasa Srava, Nasa Avarodha, Gandha Agnyana, Shirashoola and Shiro Gaurava got reduced and it indicates that the therapeutic effects is mainly achieved by the efficacy of Shirovirechana Gana Dravya Siddha Asava Nasya in Dusta Prathishyaya w.s.r to Chronic Sinusitis.
ABSTRACT
The digitalization of the world has influenced people to have access on all the things through technologies like use of computers, mobiles etc and excess use of this has caused various problems and one among them is usage of these gadgets in improper position which is the causative factor for Greeva Sandhigatavata and shows Sandhi Shoola, Sandhi Shotha, Vatapoorna Druti Sparsha and Prasarana Akunchana Vedana which can be correlated to Cervical Spondylosis which also shows similar symptoms like pain in the neck, stiffness, radiating pain and tenderness. So the study was carried on 10 patients, 5 patients in each group to evaluate the efficacy of Greevabasti with Prasarini Taila in Group A and Nasya Karma with Parinitakeriksheera Taila in Greeva Sandigatavata w.s.r. to cervical spondylosis as Pradhana karma after Poorava Karma of Snehana and Swedana in both the groups. The study revealed that Sandhishoola (joint pain) and Sandhishotha (joint Swelling) where highly significant statistically and Sandhisthabdhata was significant statistically in Group A, and in Group B Sandhi Sthabdhata shown highly significant results.
ABSTRACT
Cervical Spondylosis is a common spinal problem now days. It is a general term for age related wear and tear affecting spinal disc of the neck. Normally soft disc between vertebras provides cushioning, with Cervical Spondylosis the disc becomes compressed, when this happens the cartilage can wear away. Once this protective cartilage is gone, spur may develop on your vertebrae where they rub together and the nerves attached to spinal cord will have less room to pass between the vertebras. Cervical Spondylosis usually starts earlier in men than women. Usually it doesn’t lead to disability but sometimes these changes in the spine can cause compression which makes the finger clumsy. In Karnataka incidence and prevalence is 7.25 cases per 1000 populations and in Bangalore prevalence of Cervical Spondylosis is 23.25 per 10000 populations. Cervical Spondylosis can be compared to Manyasthambha mentioned in the classics. Divaswapna, Asamasthana, Vivrutho Urva nirikshana are the main causes leading to Manyasthambha. Ruk and Sthambha are the main Lakshanas of Manyasthambha. Considering these Lakshanas along with radiation of pain and Motor activity as the assessment parameters, Nasya Karma and Swedana were adopted in the study, which showed highly significant result in almost all parameters with p value < 0.001 taken for assessment in the group.
