Abstract

Introduction: Vishwachi is one among the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. It affects the neck and upper extremities with signs and symptoms like Ruk, Stambha, Toda, Karmakshaya and Chestaharana of Bahu as explained by different Acharyas. The clinical presentation of Vishwachi is similar to that of Parsonage Turner Syndrome, which is an acute painful condition of upper arm, shoulder joint and upper chest region. Being an Urdhwajatrugata Vaat Vikara, Snehana with Swedana in form of Nasya Karma, Matra Basti, Greeva Basti has been taken for this patient. Objective: To evaluate the effect of Snehana Nasya Greeva Basti, Matra Basti in Vishwachi. Methods: A single case was taken to observe the effect of Panchakarma treatment. Results: There was 66% reduction in severity of symptoms. Conclusion: Analysis of overall effect of the treatment showed significant results. Hence Panchakrama along with postural correction and exercises can be used for treating such patients.
