Introduction
Avabahuka, commonly referred to as Frozen Shoulder, is a condition characterized by vitiated Vata lodged in the shoulder region, leading to restricted movement and significant pain. This disorder affects daily activities and can cause emotional distress for individuals. In Ayurveda, effective treatments exist for managing Avabahuka, with Nasya Karma identified as particularly beneficial. The current study evaluates the comparative efficacy of two Ayurvedic Nasya therapies: Svalpamasha Taila and Parinata Keriksheeradi Taila, in treating Avabahuka.
Efficacy of Nasya Therapies
Nasya Karma has been recognized for its role in alleviating shoulder-related ailments. This study involved 30 patients diagnosed with Avabahuka, who were divided into two groups. Group A received Svalpamasha Taila Nasya, and Group B was treated with Parinata Keriksheeradi Nasya for 14 days. The assessment of treatment effectiveness was based on various subjective and objective parameters, including pain relief, stiffness reduction, local tenderness, and improved range of motion. Results indicated that Group A experienced a significant reduction in pain (28.75%) and greater improvements in symptoms compared to Group B’s 11.50% pain reduction.
Impact on Patient Outcomes
Both groups showed improvement after treatment, but Group A demonstrated markedly superior outcomes. For instance, Group A exhibited a 34.64% improvement in stiffness, compared to only 4.37% in Group B. Additionally, local tenderness in Group A decreased by 42.19%, while Group B showed only a 17.80% reduction. The evidence highlighted that patients receiving Svalpamasha Taila Nasya not only reported more significant improvements during treatment but also better long-term efficacy with 53.3% expressing good responses post-treatment compared to only 33.3% in Group B.
Conclusion
The comparative analysis indicates that Svalpamasha Taila Nasya is more clinically and statistically effective than Parinata Keriksheeradi Taila for managing Avabahuka. The results suggest that this Ayurvedic treatment offers substantial benefits in reducing pain, stiffness, and improving shoulder range of motion, which collectively contribute to enhancing the quality of life for patients. By establishing the efficacy of these treatments, this study underscores the relevance of traditional practices in the management of contemporary health issues.
