摘要
Kampavata resembles Parkinson＊s disease having degenerative pathology in Substantia nigra (a part of brain) and usually affects after the age of 50 years. In spite of advancements in the field of medicine, treatment of Parkinson＊s disease remained highly symptomatic. No curative treatment is available. This instills a need for ayurvedic management of Kampavata (Parkinson＊s disease). For the same reason this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Mahamasha oil Matra basti (Enema) (MMOB) and Kapikacchu beeja (Mucuna pruriens seed) powder (MPSP) in Kampavata (Parkinson＊s disease). Seventeen patients of Kampavata (Parkinson＊s disease) were selected incidentally and administered Sarvanga abhyanga (Body massage) with Ksheerabla oil and Bhashpa sweda (Steam) followed by Mahamasha oil Matrabasti (Enema) 70 ml every day for nine days. Kapikacchu beeja (Mucuna pruriens seeds) powder - 6gm twice daily was given for 48 days starting from the first day of Matrabasti (Enema). After completion of the treatment 10 patients got marked relief, 6 patients got moderate relief and 1 patient got mild relief. The parameters tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and facial expression showed statistically significant results (＆P＊ value %26lt; 0.05), whereas depression showed highly significant result (＆P＊ value %26lt; 0.001). The remaining parameters gait, posture, walking and dressing showed non-significant results. The measures selected for the study were found to be more beneficial in the initial stage of the disease, where the chronicity was less than or equal to one year. The therapy had no effect on the stooped posture.
