An Open Non Randomized Single Arm, Single Centric Clinical Trial To Determine The Effectiveness Of Venkara Parpam In The Management Of Neerkattu Vatham (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) Among Out Patients Attending Ayothidoss Pandithar Hospital, National Institute Of Siddha

Introduction

This is an open non randomized single arm, single centric clinical trial to

evaluate the effectiveness of venkara parpam in the management of neerkattu vatham (benign

prostatic hyperplasia) patients through International prostate symptom

score(IPSS),Prostate specific antigen(PSA) and Ulterasound sonography(USG) before

andafter treatment. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a pathologic process that contributes

to the development of lower urinary tract symptoms in men. Such symptoms, arising from

lower urinary tract dysfunction, are further subdivided into voiding symptoms and

storage symptoms. BPH is one of the common diseases of the male community.

summarizing data from five prior studies showed that no men younger than 30 had

evidence of BPH. The prevalence of BPH accounts nearly 8% of men aged between 45

to 50 years, around 50% affected men aged those were between 50-80 years and in men

above 80 years of age the prevalence rate is almost 80%. An estimated 50% of men

demonstrate histopathologic BPH changes by age 60 years.. So my aim is to treat the

Neerkattu vatham(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) with the Siddha classical drug

VENKARA PARPAM.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A Total of 25 diagnosed patients of Neerkattu vatham(Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)

within the age limit of 50 - 80 years willing to participate in the study ,by signing the

consent form will be enrolled in the study. CA Prostate,urinary bladder calculus,acute and

chronic renal failure,diabetic nephropathy,stricture urethra will be excluded. Assessment

in improvement is done through International prostate symptom score(IPSS),Prostate

specific antigen(PSA) and Ulterasound sonography(USG) before and after treatment.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:

The result will be statistically analyzed
