A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF TRAYODSHANGA GUGGULU WITH NASYA KARMA AND RASNADI GUGGULU WITH NASYA KARMA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF MANYASTAMBHA W.S.R. TO CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS

Abstract

Manyasthambha is a Sthambha Pradhana Vata Vyadhi which presents itself as a Kapha Pradhana Vata Vyadhi. In Contemporary Science, the presentation is similar to Cervical Spondylosis, which is a degenerative condition. Evidence of spondylotic change is frequently found with 15% of adults under the age group of 40 years and 85% of adults above 60 years. Although ageing is the major risk factor for this disease repeated occupational trauma may also contribute to the development of disease. The Contemporary Science manages this condition with Analgesics and Anti – Inflammatory drugs. The clinical study was carried out in 2 Groups which were made by selecting 20 patients in each group in SKAMCH & RC. Patients were given Nasya with Anu taila in dose of 4 Bindu for 7 consecutive days in both the groups. Group A was given Trayodashanga Guggulu and Group B was given Rasnadi Guggulu for 14 consecutive days (starting from Day 1) along with Nasya. The effect was evaluated on pre and post-test design.
