Abstract

On the basis of symptomatology Sandhigata Vata has resemblance with osteoarthritis (OA) in modern medical science. In Ayurveda, symptoms of Sandhigata Vata are described as Hanti Sandhigati (restricted movements), Sandhi Shoola (joint pain), Sandhi Shotha (joint swelling or oedema), and Prasarana Akumcana Janya Vedana (pain in flexion and extention of the joints). It mainly affects weight bearing joints of the body especially hip and knee joints and mainly associated with aging, physical occupational activities and obesity. Paribhadradi Pralepa is a traditional preparation practiced at Gampaha Wickramarachchi Ayurveda Teaching Hospital, Yakkala, Sri Lanka in treatment of Sandhigata Vata with successful results. So far, no known scientific study has conducted to evaluate the effect of Paribhadradi Pralepa in Sandhigata Vata. Hence, the present study was carried out. The clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients belonging to the age group of 35 to 60 years old. The prepared Pralepa was recommended to apply in the night for a period of fourteen days continuously. Severity of signs and symptoms were assessed before, during and after completion of the treatment using specially prepared grading scale. The reduction of clinical features was also assessed after two weeks of follow up period. Results were analyzed statistically and reduction of symptoms was statistically significant. It is concluded that Paribhadradi Pralepa is effective in management of Sandhigata Vata.
