ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The immune response to SARS-CoV-2 can play an important role in disease pathogenesis and clinical manifestations. Considering the antiviral, immuno-modulatory, anxiolytic, antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties, this open labelled, controlled, interventional, prophylactic study was conducted on individuals at risk in containment zones of different cities of India, viz., Lucknow, Aligarh, New Delhi, Srinagar, Mumbai and Bengaluru. The study focuses on number of patients turning COVID-19 positive, change in ISQ and WHOQOL-BREF scales in both the groups. Apparently, healthy individuals at risk in containment zones were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group was further divided into two subgroups. The first subgroup received Unani regimen- I including Unani Joshanda with Khamira Marwareed (KM), the second subgroup received Unani regimen- II including Unani Joshanda with Tiryaq Arba (TA). The control group did not receive any intervention. The duration of intervention was 20 days;follow ups were planned on day 10, day 20 and day 35. A total number of 33021 participants were enrolled in the study, of which 30,931 participants completed the study. It was observed that individuals receiving Unani regimen-I demonstrated lower risk of developing COVID-19 by 74% and those receiving Unani regimen-II by 62% in comparison to the control group. Interventional groups showed highly significant (p<0.001) effect on the quality of life.
