In old age all dhatus undergo kshaya leading to vataprokopa making individuals prone to many diseases like SandhigataVata. Here affliction of the joints by vitiated vata is the chief phenomenon in the pathogenesis of the disease. The cardinal feature of the disease is shulapradhanavedana (pain) along with sandhisotha (inflamed joints) and vatapurnadrutisparsha (swelling) as mentioned in Ayurvedic classics. It can be compared with Osteoarthrithis of Modern medical Science. The Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease is the most common articular disorder which begins asymptomatically in the 2nd and 3rd decades and is extremely common by the age of 70 years. In Modern medical Science the main treatment is conservative and surgical which has its own limitations and side effects. In Ayurvedic classics the management procedures of SandhigataVata is vividly described. The present clinical study was done on the 100 patients at Govt.
