ROLE OF PANCHAKARMA IN ACUTE PAKSHAGHATA-A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Vatavyadhi is a broad term that refers to diseases caused by vata vitiation. One of them is pakshaghata, the most common and complex disease. In modern science, it is classified as paralysis (hemi paresis) and only requires emergency treatment. The current study is a case report of pakshaghata (hemi paresis) of a male patient aged 36 years, with the main complaint of reduced strength in the right upper and lower limbs, as well as stiffness in the upper limb. On the basis of his clinical presentation and a brain CT scan, he was diagnosed with stroke. In this case, Panchakarma remedy has been found to be more effective in providing relief from the patient's main complaints as well as overall health. The treatment protocol included snehana, swedana, virechana, basti and Nasya was part of the treatment regimen, along with some internal medicine. Right upper and lower limb joint movement has significantly improved following the aforementioned treatment. At the conclusion of the treatment, he was able to raise the hand and eat by himself with that hand; in addition, the dragging of the lower leg had decreased. There was an observable change in the mobility and strength after Panchakarma treatment.
KEYWORD: Pakshaghata, Panchakarma, Hemi paresis, Virechana, Nasya.
