Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA), also often called „osteoarthrosis or „degenerative joint disease,‟ is the most common form of arthritis. Prevalence of OA in India is reported to be in the range of 17-60.6%. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition which represents a major contribution to the burden of physical disability. Prevalence increases with age, so that about 11% of all women over the age of 60 years have symptoms due to knee OA. Habb-e- Suranjan is a Unani poly herbal compound formulation mentioned in a Unani pharmacopeia, Qarabadeen-e- Majeedi. In which it is recommended for waja-ul-mafasil (arthralgia). This formulation contains three ingredients, Chob Zard (Curcuma longa Linn.), Surinjan Talkh (Colchium luteum Baker.) and Samaghe Arabi (Acacia Arabica Willd.). Aim of this study was to comprehend the effectiveness of the drug Habb-e-Suranjan in knee osteoarthritis patients. This study was done in 25 patients. Habb-e-Suranjan was administered orally as 2 pills 2 times a day with water or milk for one month. The outcome measures such as VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), KOOS (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and 10 meters walking test were used to assess the symptoms before and after treatment. These paired data were analyzed statistically according to Wilcoxon Matched paired signed rank test. KOOS mean pain score was50.4 ± 4.39 before treatment and it was68.13±2.21 after treatment with an extremely significant improvement. Similarly there was a significant (42.14**±4.45) improvement at 4th week in KOOS symptoms score.
