Brief Summary

Study showsthat the females in the age group of 40-60 years are the main sufferers. Theanalysis of the *Ätura bala* revealedthat maximum patients (73.91%) had *madhyama*level of *viniÅ›cita bala*.Observation shows *vÄta* factor in *praká¹›ti* as an etiological contributor. *ParihÄṇi kÄla* (a degenerativephase) is also a factor in causation of the disease. Majority (60.86%) of thepatients suffered from *vÄta*-*kaphaja* type *gá¹›dhrasÄ«*, and 30.13% from *vÄtajagá¹›dhrasÄ«*, which may be due to modern life style which favors *vÄta*-*kapha*factors. In maximum patient of *gá¹›dhrasÄ«*,*vÄyu* is aggravated due to *mÄrgÄvarodha*. In the study, involvementof *kaṇá¸arÄ*- *Å›irÄ*-*snÄyu* as *dūśya* was found in all patients i.e.100% of patients, and involvement of *mÄá¹sa*and *asthi* was found in 91.30% and86.95% patients respectively.

As an overall effect of the treatment 14 patients had marked responsewhereas 5 patients moderately responded. 1 patient had mild response. 3patients were drop out among them 1 patient was drop out because of irregularfollow up due to family problem and 2 patients drop out reason were unknown. Noneof the patients developed any untoward symptoms or any side effects during thecourse of the treatment and therefore these medicines in this therapeuticdosage are safe.

 The ultimateeffect was achieved in the patients of *gá¹›dhrasÄ«*by the reduction of pain and controlling the vitiated *vÄta*-*kapha doÅ›a*. Alongwith that, *bá¹›mhaṇa* and *rasÄyana* effects of *kṣīrapÄka* *kalpana* should also be accomplished as a part of treatment of *vÄtavyÄdhi*. Present study reveals thatthe selected management has potential effect on *gá¹›dhrasÄ«*. Significant improvement was observed in all the symptomsas well as on SLR.
