CLINICAL STUDY ON EFFICACY OF YASTIMADHU TAILA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF DUSTA VRANA (NON HEALING ULCER)

Introduction: Vrana is a common and frequently encountered problem faced in surgical practice. The presence of Dusta Vrana worsens the condition of the patient with different complications and may become fatal. Local factors on wound like slough, infection and foreign body, affect the normal process of healing. A healthy wound in a normal body heals earlier with a minimum scar as compared to a contaminated wound. Therefore, in this study all the efforts are made to make a Dusta Vrana into a Shuddha Vrana. Once the Vrana becomes Shuddha, Ropana of the Vrana will start. Methodology: Objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Yastimadhu taila in Dusta Vrana.Clinically diagnosed 40 Patients of Dusta Vrana were randomly divided into two groups, each consisting of 20 Patients. Group A were treated with the Yastimadhu Taila and Group B (Control Group) was treated by Conventional Method. Result: The results observed was based on the relief obtained on the subjective and objective parameters taken for consideration for this study viz, Pain, itching, Discharge, Smell, Colour, Epithelization, Granulation tissue and wound size were found highly significantly (P<0.05). Discussion and Conclusion: On the basis of assessment criteria and overall result of treatment, the patients of Yastimadhu Taila group showed better results when compared to Conventional Treatment. Even statistically there is significant difference between the two groups, hence Yastimadhu taila effective when compared to Conventional Treatment.
