Summary of article contents:
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the axial spine that mainly affects spine joints, causing severe chronic pain; additionally, in more advanced cases it can cause spine fusion. Immune cells and innate cytokines have been suggested to be crucial in the pathogenesis of AS. All the treatment procedures are costworthy, and the prognosis is poor. Management of AS aims at the prevention of structural deformity, regulating functional activity, and relief from pain. There is no direct diagnostic correlation to AS in Ayurvedic classics, however, signs and symptoms of AS are nearer to Amavata . Objectives- By considering Ankylosing spondylitis as Amavata an attempt has been made in the present study to evaluate the efficiency of Ayurvedic formulation in the conservative management of the disease. Method- A case of Ankylosing spondylitis presented with complaints of pain in the cervical, lower lumber, and hip joint region with difficulty in routine work i.e., walking, sitting, and squatting was treated with Dashmoola Kashaya Seka for 7 days, then Erandamooladi NiruhaBasti and Anuvasana Basti with Brihat Saidhavadi Taila as per Kala Basti schedule (modified), followed by shamana aushadhi. Result - The patient was observed for clinical examination before & after treatment and the therapy provided marked relief from pain, stiffness, and improvement in joint movements Conclusion - Panchakarma procedures along with Ayurvedic oral medications are having encouraging results in the management of Ankylosing spondylitis Keywords: Ankylosing Spondylitis , Ayurveda, Panchakarma, Amavata, Basti karma INTERNATIONAL AYURVEDIC MEDICAL JOURNAL Nitin Seju et al
