简要总结
Osteoarthritis has high prevalence, especially in the elderly, and thehigh rate of disability related to disease makes it a leading cause ofdisability in the elderly. In the UnitedStates, osteoarthritis prevalence will increase from 66–100% by the year 2020
Sandhigatavata can be compared with Osteoarthritis of contemporarymedical science. Osteoarthritis is the second largest musculoskeletal disorderin the world (30%) after low back pain (50%). The reported prevalence ofOsteoarthritis from a study in rural India is 5.78%
The hip and knee are the principle large joints affected and are theprinciple sites of significant disability. Knee osteoarthritis is more prevalentthan hip osteoarthritis, but taken together they affect 10-25 % of those agedover 65years.
Sandhigatavata is one of vatavyadhi explained in ourclassics, in which swelling, painful movements of the joints are seen. It is treated “Snehana,swedan,upanaha,agnikarma,bandhana, mardan’’,Raktamokshana, matrabasti nirgundi patrapindasweda,which areemphasized to provide better relief of painand swelling and to restore the mobility.
Upanaha swedana is used in vatavyadhi which relivesshula (pain), sankoca(restricted movement), and stambha (stiffness)
Ultra sonic therapy was introduced into the United States in 1949after establishing its reputation as an efficient therapeutic modality in Europe.A British study in 1954, based on a tabulation of 100,000 cases, reportedexcellent results of its use in 60-70 percent of cases of arthritis.
Ultrasound demonstrates the ability to evoke abroad range of therapeutically beneficial effects which may provide safe andeffective applications in the management of osteoarthritis.
Hence this studyattempts to determine the effect of two different forms of therapies that is upanahaand ultrasound in Janusadhigatavata (osteoarthritis of knee joints).
