- Brief Summary
INTRODUCTION:
This is a clinical trial that evaluates the effectiveness of siddha formulations perungaya legiam (internal) with Lagu vishamutti thylam (external) in the management of Thandagavatham (lumbar spondylosis) patients through Aberdeen low back pain scale. Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritic change in the lumbar spine.Lumbar spondylosis occurs as a result of new bone formation in areas where the anular ligament is stressed .Growth of new bone projecting horizontally at these margins identifies osteophytes. Lumbar osteophytes have long been thought to cause back pain because of their frequency and size.Lumbar spondylosis occurs in 6-10% of the general population and has been found to be as high as 25 -60% in athletes, especially in athletes younger than 18 years who participate in sports that involve twisting or backward bending motions of the spine. In the United States, more than 80% of individuals older than 40 years have lumbar spondylosis. Lumbar osteophytes have been found to be present in about 20% of men and 22% of women aged 45-64 years and in 30% of men and 28% of women aged 55-64 years.So my aim is to treat thandagavatham with siddha medicines.
