Abstract

The study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Panchatikta Kshira Basti in the management of Sciatica. Panchatikta Kshira Basti contains Guduchi (Tinospora cardiofolia). Nimba (Azadirakta indica) Vasa (Adhathoda vasica), Kantakari (Solanum Surrattense), Patola (Trichosanthes dioica), Kshira (Milk) Goghrita (Ghee), Madhu (Honey), Saindhava (Salt). This remedy prove extremely beneficial as it can be performed on the OPD and IPD basis, gives significant relief in the symptoms e.g. radiating pain, stiffness, twitching sensation. The subjective parameters like Pain, SLR, VAD, VDS etc., were used to score clinical outcome. The average clinical improvement was calculated by proper statistical treatment. Our experience with this modality has been encouraging as the response pattern is good in considerably short duration of treatment. The patient improves gradually after 4 weeks of treatment. The sustained improvement with Basti presents a window of opportunity in the clinical management of Sciatica. Ideally this technique should be practically taught to the physicians and should be evaluated scientifically using principles of biophysics and nerve conduction studies.
