Role of Agnikarma in Pain Management

Abstract

Pain is a bad feeling that makes a person visit a doctor because it prevents them from doing their daily tasks. When Sandhigata Vata affects movable joints of the body, like the knee joint (Janusandhi), the condition becomes more excruciating. Due to its frequent involvement in daily routine work, its status as a weight-bearing joint, and its tendency to develop in overweight patients, the disease Sandhigata Vata is more likely to affect the knee joint. Vata Dosha is predominant in the pathophysiology of Sandhigata Vata, exhibiting symptoms like Vedana (pain during joint movement) and Shopha (swelling). The joint stiffness and crepitus (specific sound during joint movement) are symptoms that may be co-related in modern parlance with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee joint in this article details description given about Agnikarma.
