Brief Summary

Globally, the incidence of noncommunicablediseases is on the rise, drawing attention for its prevention and treatment.Hemiplegia is one among them, causing physical and mental instabilities. Itsprevalence is about 9 cases/1000 in the global population. Worldwide,cerebrovascular accidents (stroke) are the second leading cause of death andthe third leading cause of disability1. Hemiplegia is acondition of total or partial paralysis of one side of the body, with numbnessin limbs, slurred speech, etc., Cerebrovascular accidents such asthromboembolism and haemorrhage of cerebral arteries are the major cause forthis condition. This presentation is akin to a condition called Pakshaghata inAyurveda (Ch. Chi. 28/53). As it is explained by Acharya Madhava, “saadhyamanyen samyukatamâ€2 means Pakshaghata along with other dosha iseasily curable.

The Commonestcause of Hemiplegia is Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVD) or Stroke.

The worldwideincidence has been quoted as 2 in 1000 population per annum, about 4 in 1000population aged 45-84 years3.

 The prevalence of stroke in India shows a hugevariation of 142-922/1,00,000 across the diverse community-based studies. 85%of stroke cases are due to cerebral infarction, 15% are due to cerebral haemorrhageand 1.5 times more often in male than in female4.
