简要总结
Non organic insomnia is a condition where there is difficulty in the initiation and maintenance of sleep, atleast 3 times in a week for minimum 1 month period, which results in a marked distress in social and occupational functioning, with an absence of any causative organic factor. In ayurveda it can be correlated as nidranasha, anidra, etc. It is an adaaraneeya vega and for the management of disease due to suppression of the urge of sleep, one should resort to sound sleep and massage. Nidranasha is a vataja nanatmaja vikara, mainly caused by vata dosha, in which Murdhni taila is mentioned as one of its treatment. Murdhini taila consist of four different procedures such as abhyanga, seka, pichu and vasti. As per the Textbook of angamarda by Tiruka, the author has described about 26 steps of massage out of which 6 steps are exclusively meant for shiro abhyanga. Later these are incorporated by recent author Dr Srinivasa Acharya and is summarized as 9 steps. In conventional method these step wise protocol is not followed. In Charaka Samhita it is mentioned that Shiro abhyanga helps to prevents headache, gives strength to skull, strengthens hair root, nourishes sense organs, softens skin, provides lustre to face and one gets good sleep.
Since there are 2 methods available for shiro abhyanga a study is planned to analyze which method is more effective. 30 participants satisfying the inclusion criteria will be selected from the OPD of Govt. Ayurveda Panchakarma Hospital, Poojappura and will be divided into different strata according to severity of insomnia and will be randomly allocated to the two groups (fifteen in each group). In group A we are doing the procedure in conventional method and in group B Tiruka method, till attaining vyadhi samana or for a maximum of 7 days. Assessments will be done before treatment and after treatment using Insomnia severity index, Visual Analogue Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data obtained will be statistically analyzed using appropriate tests based on whether it follows a normal distribution curve or not and will be presented in the form of a dissertation
