Abstract

Lumbar disc disease (LDD) is a common cause of chronic or recurrent low back and leg pain most likely to occur at the L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels. The pain may be located in the lower back only or may refer to the leg, buttocks, or hip. There is less improvement with modern medicines and recurrence due to surgical decompression. Various Ayurvedic drugs along with required pañcakarma procedures have been proved useful for these manifestations. We present a case of LDD (kaṭi asthi sandhi gata vᾱta) having acute severe lower back pain above left hip joint radiating towards the left thigh and calf muscle since 14 days. His visual analog scale (VAS) score was 10 when he arrived at the hospital. The case was treated for 3 months with a combination of ᾱyurvedic drugs and pañcakarma procedures. Ayurvedic treatments, in this case, were directed toward alleviating pain and to reduce disability to walk. The patient was considered suffering from kaṭi asthi sandhi gata vᾱta (vᾱtaj disorder involving lumbar region) and was given harītakī cῡrṇa 5 g with lukewarm water on the first night for vᾱtᾱnulomana. ekāṅgavīra rasa, punarnavādi maṇḍūra, rᾱsnᾱsaptaka kvᾱtha, balāriṣṭa, ajamodādi cūrṇa, orally have been given with saindhavādi taila for local application for 3 months. For śodhana cikitsā sarvāṅga abhyaṅga and sarvāṅga patra piṇḍa svedana (PPS), kaṭi basti with pañcaguṇa taila and kᾱla basti (nirῡha with rᾱsnᾱ eraṇḍādi kvᾱtha and anuvᾱsana with dhānvantaraṃ taila) for 16 days is given. Patient's condition was assessed for symptoms of kaṭi asthi sandhi gata vᾱta and VAS scale for pain, Fukushima lumbar spinal stenosis scale-25, and 6 min walking test before and after the treatment which showed substantial improvement. This study shows that the cases of lumbar disc disease which may be successfully managed with ayurvedic treatment.
阿育吠陀治疗腰椎间盘疾病1例报告
腰椎间盘疾病(LDD)是慢性或复发性腰背部和腿部疼痛的常见原因,最可能发生在L4-L5和L5-S1水平。疼痛可仅发生在下背部,也可累及腿部、臀部或臀部。现代药物治疗改善较少,手术减压后复发。各种阿育吠陀药物以及所需的pañcakarma程序已被证明对这些表现有用。我们报告一例LDD (kaṭi哮喘sandhi gata v□ta),左髋关节以上急性严重腰痛,向左大腿和小腿肌肉放射14天。当他到达医院时,他的视觉模拟评分(VAS)为10分。该病例接受了3个月的联合治疗,使用了育吠陀药物和pañcakarma程序。在这种情况下,阿育吠陀疗法的目的是减轻疼痛,减少行走障碍。患者考虑为kaṭi哮喘sandhi gata v□ta(累及腰部的v□taj紊乱),于首晚给予har taki ā c ā rṇa 5 g加温水治疗v□t□nulomana。Ekāṅgavīra rasa, punarnavādi maṇḍūra, r□sn□saptaka kv□tha, balāriṣṭa, ajamodādi cūrṇa,口服,配合saindhavādi taila局部应用3个月。对于śodhana cikitsza sarvāṅga abhyaṅga和sarvāṅga patra piṇḍa svedana (PPS),给予kaṭi basti with pañcaguṇa taila和k æ la basti (nir ha with r sn eraṇḍādi kv tha和anuv sana with dhānvantaraṃ taila) 16天。治疗前后对患者进行kaṭi哮喘病症状评估、疼痛VAS评分、福岛腰椎管狭窄量表-25分、6 min步行测试,均有明显改善。本研究表明,病例腰椎间盘疾病,这可能是成功的管理与阿育吠陀治疗。
