It was an open label, pre and post without control clinical trial for the period of 30 days conducted on 29 eligible cases of hemiplegia due to stroke. Nuskha Ma-ul-Usool was administered in form of decoction once in morning on an empty stomach for 15 days; then Nuskha Mus’hil-e-Balgham was added with Ma-ul-Usool and given on 13th and 15th day of treatment in order to induce purgation. From 16th day onwards, Inkibab (steam inhalation) was started with 20 gm of Marzanjosh once a day daily till the end of the study. The pre and post treatment values of Barthel Index Scale were analyzed by paired t test to assess ADL in the participants. Significant improvement (P<0.05) was observed in ADL of participants at the end of treatment. No side effect was observed during and after the study; overall compliance to the treatment was satisfactory. The study concluded that trial formulations have statistically significant effect in improving the ADL of post stroke disability cases.
