Abstract

Sandhigata Vata is Vata Pradhana Vyadhi, which mainly occurs in Vriddhavastha due to Dhatukshaya. We can correlate Sandhigata Vata with Osteoarthritis (OA) based on clinical features. Osteoarthritis is the most common articular- degenerative type of arthritis which mainly occurs in old age characterized by loss of articular cartilage and periarticular bone remodelling. The current pharmacological management of Sandhigata Vata includes the administration of analgesics and NSAID's. It can provide either conservative or surgical treatment and is highly symptomatic and with troublesome side effects. This is study of patient who were admitted with c/o of Sandhishool, Sphutan, Akunchana Prasarna Vedana typically showing all the classical signs of Sandhigata Vata.
