Abstract

Introduction: Sandhigatavata is one among the vatavyadhi. It may be correlated to osteoarthritis due to
resemblance in signs and symptoms. Though, many treatments are available for osteoarthritis, pain
management is essentially preferred. Snehana and swedana are prescribed as common treatments in
vatavyadhi. Upanaha sweda is one among the modality of swedana used widely in the management of
sandhigatavata, which is found to be beneficial clinically too. So this clinical study is planned to evaluate the
efficacy of jatamayadi upanaha in the management of sandhigatavata (OA of knee) as, it has vatahara,
shothahara (antiinflammatory), shoolaghna (analgesic) action. Materials and methods: 20 patients fulfilling
the diagnostic and inclusion criteria belonging to either sex were selected for this single blind study. Upanaha
was prepared and applied over affected joints for 7 days. Result: Subjective and objective parameters were
suitably graded to assess the results based on clinical observations before and after treatment. Statistically
results were highly significant (P<0.001) in criteria like pain at rest, ability to climb up and walk down stairs,
ability to squat, swelling, tenderness and range of movement. In the present study, 20% of the subjects got
marked improvement, 40% got moderate, 35% mild and 5% got poor response. Conclusion: Jatamayadi
upanaha having kapha-vatashamaka and vedanasthapaka properties is very much beneficial to reduce
swelling and tenderness instantly.
