Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
PURPOSE Avascular Necrosis (AVN) is a disease affecting bone due to temporary or permanent cessation of the blood supply. AVN is also known as ischemic bone necrosis which finally leads to the destruction of joint. AVN of the femoral head is the most common type among all AVN. In early stages AVN is asymptomatic but as the disease progress there is constant pain with decrease in the function of joints. Although bone grafting, hip replacements, osteotomy etc. are done for the management of AVN but no satisfactory cure has been developed yet, even in early stages. Most of the surgical treatments are cost worthy and have poor prognosis. Hence an effort has been made to evaluate the efficacy of Basti Karma in the management of the AVN of femoral head. METHOD This is single case study of 60 years old male suffering from pain and stiffness in bilateral hip joints, difficulty in walking and restricted movement of both legs. It was diagnosed case of avascular necrosis of femoral head based on MRI report. As per Ayurveda the case was diagnosed as Asthimajjagata Vata Vikara and was admitted in the male ward of Panchkarma, NIA, and Jaipur. The whole treatment includes Sarvanga Abhyanga, Swedana for 16 days, Panchatikta Ksheer Basti and Dasmool Anuvasana Basti in Kala Basti Schedule. Yograj Guggulu, Rasnasaptak Kwatha, Ashwaghandha Churna, Nagaradhya Churna, Chopchini Churna and Brahma Rasayana for 30 days was given as Shamana Chikitsa. Assessment was done on the basis of sign and symptoms. RESULT The therapy provided marked relief in pain and stiffness along with improvement in gait and difficulty in walking was reduced CONCLUSION On the basis of this case study it can be concluded that Basti Karma along with Shamana Chikitsa is effective in the management of AVN of femoral head. Since the single case is not enough more rooted study in this is required.
