Abstract
Neck pain is one of the most common clinical symptom that one encounters in day to day life. Its etiology varies widely like professionally adopted inappropriate posture, neck injury, age related degenerative changes etc. SAGANA VATHAM is one among the 80 types of vatha diseases, as described by the siddhar Yugi. This disease affects the neck & upper extremities with its signs and symptoms like that of Cervical Spondylosis. Vengara Sanjeevi Chendura Mathirai is a formulation mentioned in Brahmamuni Vaithya Soothiram Part II, which finds an indication for vatha diseases. Therefore it was desired to evaluate the efficacy of Vengara Sanjeevi Chendura Mathirai in the treatment of SAGANA VATHAM. The trial drug was subjected to biochemical and pharmacological analysis. 20 OP and 20 IP patients of both sexes were selected. They were administered with the trial drug. At the end of the study, majority of the cases showed good response. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Twenty cases with Sagana Vatham (Cervical spondylosis) were diagnosed clinically and admitted in In patients ward and treated with the trial medicines. Another 20 cases were treated as out patients. All the inpatients were followed in the outpatient department after discharge. The clinical diagnosis was done on the basis of clinical features described in “Yugi Vaidhya Sindhamani-800”. The trial medicines chosen for the clinical study was: Vengara Sanjeevi Chendura Mathirai – 1, twice daily, after food Adjuvant – Milagu choornam, Thippili choornam, Inji saaru Biochemical analysis revealed that the trial drug possess chloride, starch, ferrous iron, amino acid and unsaturated compound. Pharmacological report revealed that the drug possess moderate anti – inflammatory, analgesic & anti-pyretic actions. The various siddha aspects of examinations of this disease were carried out.The clinical features of Sagana Vatham described in various Siddha literatures were correlated with Cervical spondylosis. From this study, SAGANA VATHAM (Cervical spondylosis) seemed to occur in persons susceptible to neck strain because of keeping the neck constantly in one position while working on or from the wide use of two wheelers on bad roads. On the other hand it also occurs in people of low socio-economic status, who carry heavy weights especially on head. In this study neck pain, numbness/ tingling sensation with/without weakness of arm, giddiness were the commonly observed symptoms in the patients. Most of the foresaid were due to vitiation of vatham. As per our siddha materia medica the ingredients of the trial drug were found to have the property of controlling vatha diseases. The results were assessed on the basis of symptomatic improvement using universal pain assessment scale. The result was found to be: Good in 75% of the cases. Moderate in 15% of the cases. No response 10% of the cases. The relief (or) improvement was observed only clinically and there was no change in the radiological findings. No toxic side effects were noticed during the treatment period. The trial drug Vengara Sanjeevi Chendura Mathirai proved to be a potent formulation in the treatment of SAGANA VATHAM (Cervical spondylosis).
