Abstract
Pain is an unfavourable sensation that brings an individual to the physician due to a halt from his routine works.Pain can present in various ways as throbbing pain in toothache, eye ache or a colic pain which comes in spasm as in renal calculi, gnawing pain in abdominal discomfort, muscular pain as in sprain, sports injury, joint pain due to swelling and many more. A wide range of symptomatic treatments are available such as use of anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs, steroids injection, physiotherapy, exercise etc. which have their own limitations and adverse effects.Long-term use of anti-inflammatory analgesic drugs and steroid injections are also not free from adverse effects. Till date, no satisfactory treatment is available for musculoskeletal pain. In Ayurveda, AcharyaSushruta has advocated various treatment modalities such as Snehana, Upanaha, Agnikarma, and Bandhana forVata. Amongst these, Agnikarma seems to be more effective in providing distinct and instant relief if it is done perfectly. A report of 100 patients havingvatajshool with respect to musculo skeletal pain treated with Agnikarmais presented in this study to prove the role of Agnikarmain pain management.
