Abstract

• In Ayurvedic texts, various terms such as, Ruk, Ruja, Vedana and Shoola are commonly used for pain, however, ‘Shoola’ is more appropriate term amongst all which means - a condition with state of discomfort to body and mind. Thereby, stating the definition of Shool as experience similar to driving a nail into the body of the person.[1] • In pain and burning sensation management post operatively, Surgeons do prefer using OPOIDS and NSAIDS drugs, but both of these have their own side effects like gastric pain, mucosal erosion/ulceration etc. Application of soothing ointments and gels digitally have doubtful efficacy.[2] • To resolve all these problems and to overcome it there is a need to evolve an effective treatment by Ayurvedic approach in pain and burning sensation management post operatively. • In literature of Ayurveda all Samhitakaras explained causes of pain, characters and its managements under respective orders and treatment. But in Sushruta amhita it is explained as important troublesome symptom of all types of Vranas and there is detailed description about its management. Shoola is the main feature in Vrana. The plan of treatment of Shoola is old in Shastiupakrama by Sushruta.
