Comparative study of efficacy of ‘Mulakadi taila’-Basti and Nasya in management of Kampavata w.s.r. to parkinson’s disease
Journal Title: Journal of Ayurvedic and Herbal Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Tremors, bradykinesia and rigidity are the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The symptoms of the disease are bothersome to the patient because they affect the quality of life of the Patient. The main line of treatment in Parkinson's disease is administration of drugs affecting the dopaminergic system. Although they significantly reduce the presenting symptoms they cannot prevent the progression of the disease. Thus, there remains a need for a therapy which would also slow down disease progression and improve quality of life. The trail was undertaken to study the comparative efficacy of ‘Mulakadi Taila’ Basti and Nasya in management of Kampavata (Parkinson’s disease) by giving Mulakadi Taila Basti and Nasya in two groups of Patients. Mulakadi Taila from Gadanigraha is selected because Chikitsa siddhanta says that Vataja disorders can be treated with Sneha (Taila) incorporated with Vatahara dravyas. The principle constituents of this very balanced formulation are all Vata-shamak, Vatakapha-shamak or ‘Tri-Doshaghna’, and especially indicated in Vata disorders. The clinical assessment was done using Modified Universal Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale. All symptoms were given scoring depending upon their severity from 0 to 4. The scores were subjected to ‘t’ test and it suggests significant difference after the treatment. Overall the results are a little better with Basti group. But, both the groups have their own areas of strength over the other group in certain symptoms. Hence, by changing the Mode of administration the treatment can be tailor-made as per the requirements of individual Patient. So far, our experience with treatment has been good and the results are encouraging.
