- Brief Summary
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of Arthritis and is a major cause of pain and disability in older people, affecting an estimated 302 million people Worldwide. The prevalence of Knee OA is more in India, Japan, China and African subcontinent. The prevalence rises progressively with age and is the most common joint disease with the prevalence of 22% to 39% in India.
In this degenerative condition there will be pain, swelling and the movement of the joint is restricted. Thus, palliative management NSAIDs and Opioids are the mainstays of pharmacotherapy, even Knee Replacement is another option in managing Osteoarthritis. But all of these have some limitations with various adverse effects. Moreover, there are no proven disease-modifying therapies for osteoarthritis. Thus, Preventive measures previously addressed need to be reaffirmed throughout the world so that we will effectively reduce the future burden and disability of OA.
Previous Ayurveda studies such as Panchakarma therapies and Shaman Aushadhi’s have shown some good results. For reducing pain, stiffness and inflammation Rasna is one of the best choices having such properties to combat this condition. Thus, *Rasnadi Guggulu*and *Maharasnadi Kwatha*are taken up for the study to see the effect on symptoms, Quality of life and IL-6 in knee osteoarthritis. Also, Considering the chronicity of the disease, a long-term safe and efficacious medication is required for the management. Thus, it is an attempt to see the effect of medication on Knee Osteoarthritis.
