Abstract:
Sandhigata Vata is a common Vata predominant disorder found in
all races. Cervical spondylosis is described as a degenerative
condition of the cervical spine.It leads to pain, stiffness in the joints, pain radiates
into shoulders and fore arm, headache, vertigo, giddiness,
paraesthesia at the base of the thumb etc. In modern medical
science, the role of analgesics, corticosteroids, surgical
decompression, traction has been credited and discredited mainly
because of their draw backs and limited benefits. In this study
panchadhatu shalaka was used for Agnikarma. Its Ushna, Sukshma,Ashukari guna probably pacifies the vitiated Vata Kapha
Dosha and removes Srotoavarodha. To control the degenerative
process Ajmodadi vati was selected for internal use. In this
clinical research work, 27 patients of Cervical spondylosis
(Sandhigata Vata) were randomly selected and divided into two
groups i.e. group A and group B , treated with Agnikarma and
Ajamodadi vati orally respectively. Comparatively more relief
was found in group - A.
