Sciatica is defined as radiating pain along the course of sciatic nerve and is felt in the back, buttocks, posterior of the thighs, legs and foot caused due to disc protrusion, the nerve roots most frequently affected are L4, L5, and S1. The pain is severe, sharp and shooting type associated with other symptoms such as numbness, tingling sensation, weakness, and sensitivity to touch. The signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi are similar to sciatica. The present study is comparative clinical study with pre and post test design with sample size 50 subjects with 25 subjects in each group. The intervention of Group A was Katibasti, Dashamoola Niruha Basti in Yoga Basti pattern for first 8 days and Group B, Katibasti, Rasna Erandadi Niruha Basti in Yoga Basti pattern for first 8 days followed by Erandabija Payasa as Shamanaoushadi, both the groups for next 16 consecutive days. The results obtained on assessment parameters like Ruk, Stambha, SLR test, Bragard’s sign, and Functional ability scale value with the significance “P” value of 0.000 in the management of Gridhrasi vis-à-vis Sciatica. Hence, it was inferred that the selected intervention Group B (trial group) Rasna Erandadi Niruha Basti showed better results than Group A (control group) Dashamoola Niruha Basti in the management of Gridhrasi vis-à-vis Sciatica.
