Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Scorpion sting being a major public health problem is an acute life threatening, time limiting medical emergency especially in rural parts of India. Ayurveda recommend several medicinal preparations for the management of scorpion sting but so far very little statistical data is available regarding the efficacy of these medicines. The prevailing situation is in need of revalidation of ayurvedic formulation. Hence two varieties of dhara yoga such as saliparni thaila dhara and gritha saindava dhara have been selected to compare effectiveness in the management of vrischika damsha along with dasanga agada. Aims: To evaluate comparative effect of saliparni thaila dhara against gritha saindava dhara along with dasanga agada in the management of vrischika damsha.
Methods: A comparative clinical trial was conducted at a tertiary Ayurveda centerwith 100 subjects satisfying inclusion and diagnostic criteria. They were selected by simple random lottery method and divided in to two groups. In group 1 diagnosed case of vrischika damsha received saliparni thaila dhara externally, group 2 was given gritha saindava dhara externally for two days and dasanga gulika (2gm) TDS was administered orally in both groups for two days. Ordinal numerical rating scale was utilized to record intensity of cardinal symptoms pain, erythema, swelling and burning sensation. Statistical analysis was done in single group by Friedman test within the group by wilcoxon signed ranks test and in between the group by Mann- Whitney U Test
Results: - The study showed significant improvement within the group in reducing the 4 four cardinal symptoms with P<0.001.A significant result was obtained between the group with P<0.05.
Conclusion: Saliparni thaila dhara is more or equal effective when compared to gritha saindava dhara along with dasanga agada in the management of vrischika damsha.
