ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF PAKSHAAGHAATA W.S.R. TO CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT

Dr Anil K Burley

Abstract :

 Pakshaaghaata is described as a Vaata Naanaatmaja Vyaadhi. This indicates that it is manifested only due to Vaata Dosha involvement. Charaka Samhita describes Virechana as the major line of treatment for Pakshavadha. But Virechana cannot be applied to Shudda Vaataja condition. While describing the indication of Virechana in Vaatavyaadhi Charaka states that Virechana is implied in that condition of Vaata where the Vaata is obstructed by Pitta, Rakta, Kapha and Meda. The obstruction of Vaayu due to these factors is called as Maargaavarana.

Clinical study was carried out on 60 patients distributed in three groups. 20 patients were registered in each group A, B and C respectively. Group A was managed by Snehana–Swedana and Rasona Kalpa. The patients in Group B were given Virechana per 15 days along with Abhyanga and Swedana. Virechana was carried out with Eranda Sneha. The treatment regimen in Group C included Abhyanga, Swedana, Rasona Kalpa and Virechana. The duration of treatment in each group was 45 days. Fourteen patients in Group A, twelve in Group B and seventeen patients in Group C completed the treatment.

          On observation it was found that none of the etiological factor or risk factor of Cereovascular accident is patently related to the Shuddha Vaataja condition. The Nidaana observed for Pakshaaghaata are not directly Vaata Prakopaka but they priorly vitiate other Dosha. The patients of Group C which were managed by Shodhana and Shamana therapy i.e. Virechana and Rasona Kalpa showed better improvement in Neurological status compared to the other groups. Virechana is indicated in the condition where Vaata is obstructed with other factors like Kapha, Pitta, Rakta and Meda. Rasona also bears an exhaustive reference that, it cures all kinds of Aavarana accept that of Rakta.

          On the basis of the above factors it has been concluded that Pakshaaghaata due to CVA is manifested due to the Aavarana of Vaata due to other factors like Kapha, Pitta, Meda and Rakta. It also shows Aavarana of Vaataprakara i.e. Anyo–anya–Aavarana. Aavarana scavenging property of Rasona overtakes Virechana, in context of this disorder. Rasona has an impressive role on the factors building or creating atherosclerosis.
