Summary of article contents:
Trigger finger is a clinical condition in which the interphalangeal joint is flexed, it locks and then snaps into extension. In Ayurveda, the Trigger finger may be considered as Snayugathavikaara . Acharya Susruta explained that Agnikarma(cauterisation) can be a treatment of choice. This article is to compare the effect of Agnikarma using Shalaka and TilaTaila(sesame oil) on trigger finger. The participants were recruited into groups A and B, as Agnikarma with Tila taila and Agnikarma with Shalaka respectively . Both interventions were given in four sitting with an interval of a week between them. The assessment was done on the 1 st and last day of the procedure based on the parameters of quinell grading, tenderness, locking of joint, and swelling. Statistically analysed using Mann Whitney U test and conclusions were drawn. It was found that the effect of Agnikarma using Tila taila is more effective compared to that of Agnikarma using Shalaka in the management of the Trigger finger.
