简要总结
In this RCT we evaluate the efficacy of hydrotherapy (Hot foot and arm bath) as an adjunct to standard treatment in the management of childhood bronchial asthma correlating with Tamaka Shwasa described in ayurveda. The study is designed as an open label randomized comparative clinical trial to be conducted at ch. brahm prakash ayurveda charak sansthan new delhi. A total of 64 children aged 7 to 16 years diagnosed with mild to moderate bronchial asthma will be recruited and randomly allocated into two groups.
Group A will receive standard ayurvedic treatment along with HFAB. Group B will receive standard ayurvedic treatment alone. HFAB will be administered for 2 months, three times per week, with regular follow ups on the 20th, 40th, 60th days. Hydrotherapy particularly HFAB is traditionally used in naturopathy and is believed to improve symptoms of asthma. Primary outcome is to improve pulmonary function tests(FEV1 and FVC) .
