In Ayurveda, Gridhrasi is considered as one of the Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi having vitiation of Vata and sometimes Vata Kapha Dosha. The cardinal signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi are Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking sensation), Stambha (stiffness) and Muhurspandan in the Sphika, Kati, Uruh, Janu, Jangha and Pada in order and Sakthiuthkshepanigraha (hinderence in lifting of the legs). In Kaphanubandha -Tandra, Gaurav, Arochaka are present. The signs and symptoms of ‘Gridhrasi’ can be correlated with that of ‘Sciatica’ in modern terminology. Sciatica is a very painful condition in which pain begins in lumbar region and radiates along the posterior lateral aspects of thigh and leg along with difficulty in walking. SLR test, sitting test, Lasegues sign are helpful not only to diagnose the sciatica but also to assess the progress of the therapy. With reference to the management of Sciatica, in modern medicine, various modalities are available. These modern therapies have their own limitations and these management tools are not affordable for the poor, especially in the developing countries. Therefore, the choice of treatment commonly opens to reveal some effective, simple, safe and economic modalities. Total 30 patients were registered in this study. 15 patients were assigned to group A (Ajmodadi Churna) and 15 to group B (Ajmodadi Churna and Sahacharadi Taila Kati Basti). Each patient was examined thoroughly before treatment and observed keenly during the procedure and follow up.

Gridhrasi is one among Vatajananatmaja Vikara characterized by Sthabdhata, Ruk, Toda which radiates from buttock region, lumbar region, thigh, knee, calf muscles and legs. Gridhrasi is of two types viz Vataja and Vata Kaphaja Gridhrasi. Vataja Gridhrasi is characterized by severe pain and Vata Kaphaja Gridhrasi has symptoms viz Tandra, Gaurava and Aruchi. The signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi can be correlated to sciatica of modern medicine. Sciatica is characterized by constant aching pain felt in lumbar region which may radiate to the buttock, thigh, calf and foot and pain is experienced along the sciatic nerve pathway. It is a common condition with lifetime incidence varying from 13% to 40%. Matra Basti is indicated in dis-eases caused by vitiated Vata Doshas and thus considered as one of the treatments for Gridhrasi. It was a comparative clinical study with a pre and post design in 40 patients who were diagnosed with Gridhrasi, were assigned into 2 groups of 20 patients each randomly. After examination MatraBasti had given for group A with Vyoshadi Taila and group B with Sahacharadi Taila after Sthanika Abhyanga and Nad-isweda with respective oil for 7 days. The assessment criteria were noted before and after treatment and on followup. Among the subjective and objective parameters, Group A showed better reduction 51.47% in Ruk, Sthambha, Toda, Gaurava, active and passive SLR test, Bragard’s test and Lumbar movements. Group B does not have statistically significant over Gaurava, left lateral flexion and rotation to leave. Showed reduction 40.49% in Ruk, Sthambha, Toda active and passive SLR test and lumbar movement. Hence it can be concluded that MatraBasti with Vyosadi Tailam is having more effect on symptoms of Gridhrasi and shows long lasting result.

Gridhrasi is a Vyadhi characterized by Stambha (stiffness), Ruk (pain), Toda (pricking pain), Spandana (twitching) etc. Though it is of two types – Vataja and Vatakaphaja, Vata being the prime cause for this condition has to be tackled to gain relief. Gridhrasi, according to its signs and symptoms can be compared to sciatica in modern medical science which is a painful condition in which pain commences from the buttock and radiates into the lower extremity along its posterior or lateral aspect, more or less comprising of the area of distribution of the sciatic nerve. Thus, this study was taken up to evaluate the efficacy of Rasona taila and Gandharvahastadi eranda taila in the management of Gridhrasi (Sciatica). Methods: In the present study, 60 subjects diagnosed with Gridhrasi were randomly selected and assigned into two equal groups Group A and Group B comprising 30 subjects each. Subjects of Group A received Rasona taila 10ml orally in morning before food and subjects of Group B received Gandharvahastadi eranda taila 10 ml orally in morning before food, both for duration of 21 days. The data obtained in both the groups were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Results: After obtaining all the necessary data, the results were formulated by applying suitable statistical tests. Group A showed better results statistically when compared to Group B. Conclusion: Rasona taila has better effects than Gandharvahastadi eranda taila both clinically and statistically in reducing the signs and symptoms of Gridhrasi.

Gridhrasi is a disease explained by Brihatrayees in the context of Vatavyadhi Adhyaya. The earliest reference about the details of Gridhrasi is available from Sushruta Samhita (1500 BC). Gridhrasi is included in Vatajna Natmaja Vyadhi and also considered as Mahagada by Acharya Charaka. In all Ayurvedic literature, there is no direct reference regarding Nidana, but it is included in Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi, general Vata Prakopaka Hetus are to be considered. On the basis of symptoms, Gridhrasi can be correlated with the disease Sciatica in the modern parlance, which occurs because of spinal nerve irritation and characterized by its distinct nature of pain in distribution of sciatic nerve and often it is associated with lumbago. The Gridhrasi is commonly seen in society as a major problem which incapacitates patient to perform his daily routine activities because of severe pain from Katin Pradesha to Padanguli. In modern medicine in reference to sciatica treatment, there is no definitemn curative treatment other than symptomatic management. Objectives of the study was to evaluate the effect of Asthapada Panchaloha Shalaka Agnikarma in the pain management of Gridhrasi w.s.r. to Sciatica and to compare the effect of Bindu Panchaloha Shalaka Agnikarma in the pain management of Gridhrasi. In present study 40 patients with confirmed clinical diagnosis of Gridhrasi/Sciatica were selected randomly and divided into two groups of each 20 patients. Group A patients were treated with Asthapada Panchaloha Shalaka Agnikarma and Group B patients were treated with Bindu Panchaloha Shalaka Agnikarma. After the treatment it was observed that there was statistically significant results in the main signs and symptoms i.e. pain in lumbar region, numbness, SLR test. The study shows that the treatment is statistically significant in Group A when compared to Group B. Group A overall result is 87.29% and Group B overall result is 84.64%.
