Many treatment methods have been applied in the treatment of Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus (Nadi vrana) disease (PSD).Our observations demonstrated Efficacy of Ksharasutra therapy -A minimal invasive Para surgical method in Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus (Nadi vrana) Disease (Nadi vrana). 20 patients were treated (3 women, 17 men) with PSD by Ksharasutra therapy. All patients were treated on an outpatient basis in the minor Ksharasutra operation theater in ACRI, New Delhi. The mean age was 27 years (18-60). The median length of symptoms was seven months. In the 1 year of mean follow-up period, the disease recurred in 2 patients. This treatment procedure was well-tolerated by all the patients. Time off work was on average one day with an MSD1.75 and SD 0.766485. No patient had skin necrosis or any other complications during the therapy. Recurrence of the disease in two patients was found. Mean Time required for wound healing in week was 10.8 with SD 2.501999. 1(5%) patient had wound infection. It is possible to treat patients in a shorter time with a considerably smaller loss of working time, since the destruction of peripilonidal adipose tissue and skin is less and reoccurrence of the disease is also less, therefore, the use of Ksharasutra therapy in Sacrococcygeal Pilonidal Sinus (Nadi vrana) is an option to be considered in the treatment of PSD.
This interventional, quasi-experimental study (pre-post test design) was conducted at Ayurveda Central Research Institute, New Delhi to study the efficacy of Leech Therapy along with some Ayurvedic medicine in vitiligo. Patients were selected by non-probability purposive sampling method after obtaining an informed consent. Twenty patients suffering from vitiligo (12 male and 08 female), aged more than 15 years and involving less than 25% of body surface area were enrolled. All the patients were kept in a single group. All the patients were called to OPD for Leech application once in a week. The patients were followed up weekly for first month and later on fortnightly for five months to monitor the improvement and adverse effects. The mean re-pigmentation achieved was 60 % (VASI score of 3.69), while the arrest of progression (stationary) was noted in 35 % of patients. In 5% of patient it was spreading. We recommend that leech therapy along with internal administration of Ayurvedic medicine is effective in the treatment of Vitiligo.
Parikartika (Anal fissure) is the most common cause of anal pain. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effectiveness of Ayurvedic compound along with manual dilatation of Anus and Jatyadi tail in anal fissure. 40 patients were included in this study and the therapeutic outcome and side effects were recorded. Recurrence of symptoms occurred in two healed patients in four months. Remission of the disease was found in 80% of cases which is statistically significant. Partial remission in 12.5% and no remission was found in 7.5% of cases. The appetite was markedly improved, which was either nil or, reduced before treatment. The mean was 0.4 as compared to 2.375 before treatment with SD 0.5905 and P is significant <0.001. Complete healing of the fissure occurred in 95% of the subjects by the end of 30 days (P<0.0001, statistically highly significant). The pain score in the subjects dropped from 3.325 (mean) to 0.35 (mean) in 30days time with SD 0.4830, SEM dropped from 0.1154 to 0.07638 with P value < 0.001 which is statistically significant. Ninty nine percent of the subjects experienced a significant fall in the bleeding by the end of 30 days. There was also a significant reduction in the discharge with mean dropped from 3.375 to 0.2 and SD 0.4051, P value <0.0001.Perianal pruritis was also significantly reduced with mean dropped from 3.175 to 0.35 before and after treatment respectively with SD 0.4830, SEM0.07638, and P value <0.001.
