Abstract

The research work on Pakkavatham was chosen with an intention to give solance to the patients who are suffering from the disease. The disease hemiplegia was comparatively studied with the disease pakkavatham with reference to its etiology, clinical featurea and pathogenesis. The author had a chance of referring many siddha literature and collected more information. Vishnu chakramathirai is a internal drug and kodiveli thylam is a external medicine was chosen and a clinical trial in Govt, siddha medical college, palayamkottai was conducted with these drugs. For this 38 cases were selected in which 13 were treated in out patient ward and remaining 25 were in in patient ward. The preclinical studies of the trial drug were initiating to be encouraging. Pharmacological analysis of vishnuchakra mathirai shows 1. Anti inflammatory action and 2. Haemolytic activity. Since, complimentary therapies or manual therapies like massage and varmam plays a significant role in treatment of hemiplegia. Some of the complimentary therapy from siddha system are manipulated along with trial drugs depending upon the severity of the disease. Daily improvement was observed to assess the efficacy. The results obtained were found to be propitious. Particularly results by complimentary therapies were found to be very auspicious. No adverse reactions were found. Hence the trial drug was found to be safe and effective. From the clinical study it could be inferred that treatment with trail drugs considerably improves the functions of Viyanan – responsiple for sensory and motor activities and body movement Abanan – responsible for defaecation, micturation, menstruation and Ejaculation. Nagan: responsible for higher intellectual functions and eye ball movement. Dhevathathan – responsible for movements of eye ball, laziness, arguing, begging. Samanan – responsible for normal digestion and correction of other vayus. It could be also inferred that the trial drugs inhibit the further vascular disorders and regulate the other physiological process of the body. Available investigations in modern medicine were also considered for diagnosis and follow the prognosis of the patients. The efficacy of the trial drugs were studied by bio-chemical analysis and pharmacological analysis.
