Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study was carried out to assess the effect of Yoganjana in the treatment of Praklinnavartma (Blepharitis). There are 21 Vartmagata rogas, out of which Praklinnavartma is a most common ocular disorder. It is an ocular inflammation that involves the eyelid margin primarily and is a common cause of chronic ocular irritation. Blepharitis frequently leads to associated ocular surface inflammation, including conjunctivitis, functional tear deficiency and keratitis. After years it may result in permanent reddening of lid margin, ptylosis, corneal ulcers and visual impairment etc. The high recurrence rate makes blepharitis difficult to manage. The outcome of modern & Ayurvedic management is poor and there are increasing chances of recurrence. “Yoganjana” is described in Sushruta Samhita for the treatment of Praklinnavartma. In the present study 60 eyes of 30 patients were registered and drug was given for 15 days. Among these, 4 patients left the treatment before the completion of the therapy. The observation were made on 7th day& 15th day and finally at 30th day. In the group of 52 eyes of 26 patients, complete remission in 1.92%, marked improvement in 5.77%, moderate improvement in 34.62% were found. Mild improvement was found in 46.15% patients whereas 11.54% patients were remained unchanged.
