Though surgical debridement, chorion graft, etc. which are practiced in modern era gives effectiveness in treating non-healing ulcers, these procedures have certain limitations such as, limited centres and high cost of treatment. The present study is to compare the effect of Apamarga Kshara Lepa and Jaloukavacharana in the management of Dushta Vrana. The main aim of study is intended to evaluate the efficacy in healing the ulcer. The subjects reported at Outpatient department of Shalyatantra were allocated into two groups of 20 subjects each. The Group A patients received Apamarga Kshara Lepa as treatment and the Group B patients received Jalaukavacharana as treatment. The subjects were assessed by analysing their biochemical parameters, subjective and objective parameters. Marked improvements were noted in both groups.
