Nowadays due to changing lifestyle, lack of physical activity and long sitting postures lead to a disease called Gridhrasi. Symptoms of Gridhrasi closely resemble the clinical features of Sciatica. Sciatica is a severely painful condition where the sciatic nerve of one or both legs is involved. This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Aabhadi Churna along with Pathya Aahara and Vihara in Gridhrasi with special reference to Sciatica. The study was conducted on 60 patients who fulfilled the diagnostic and inclusive criteria of sciatica. The clinical assessment was based on subjective parameters (Ruka, Stambha, Toda, Spandana) and objective parameters (Straight leg raising test, standing time and walking time). The subjective and objective parameters before and after treatment were analyzed by using the student "t" test. The t-test results were highly significant for both the groups when the therapy effect was compared before and after the treatment. The inter-group comparison showed that the Group-B treatment method where 84% of patients showed moderate to maximum improvement method was better when compared to Group-A where this percentage was 67% only. Keywords: Gridhrasi, Sciatica, Pathya Aahara, Vihara, Aabhadi Churna.

Abstract Background There have been several studies published comparing the ultrasound-guided with the “blind” infiltrations in the shoulder’s area. On the contrary, there is only very limited data regarding the necessity of ultrasound guidance in lateral epicondylitis. Materials and Methods A prospective, randomized, blinded at initial and follow-up evaluation, comparative clinical trial was conducted, involving 44 patients with a history of chronic persistent epicondylopathy. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups of 22 people each. Group A patients underwent three ultrasound-guided betamethazone injections, while group B included those who underwent three “blind” injections, centered at the palpable point of maximum pain. The evaluation was done before and after (4 and 12 weeks) the injections using the Visual Analogue Scale for pain (VAS, 0–10) and the Roles & Maudsley score. Results There was not any significant statistical difference between the two groups as for mean VAS at 4 weeks (p = 0.150, t-test) and mean VAS at 12 weeks (p = 0.286, t-test). Furthermore, the final success rate, as measured by the Roles & Maudsley score, was slightly superior in group B (67 % of the patients with excellent or good results) when compared with group A (46 % of the patients), but without any statistical difference (p = 0.161, chi-square). Conclusion Our trial proved that an ultrasound-guided injection is not superior than a palpation-guided injection of corticosteroids in the treatment of lateral epicondylopathy.

The objective of this no interventional, 7 months observational study was to analyze the prevalence of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in cancer patient populations who were receiving chemotherapy and those who were not receiving chemotherapy. This was an observational study. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 60 subjects (24 male and 36 females) diagnosed with cancer enrolled for the study, which was further allotted into group A (n=30) which was receiving chemotherapy and group B (n=30) which was not receiving chemotherapy. The data collection was performed by administering the validated Fatigue symptoms Inventory (FSI) scale after obtaining the informed consent. The mean age of Group A and B is 49 years and Group B 51 years, respectively. The mean FSI score of the group receiving chemotherapy was 35.70±17.14, whereas the mean FSI score of a group not receiving chemotherapy was 19.50±16.05. An Independent t-test was applied and the independent t value came out to be 2.18.  An equal variance t-test reveals, statistically indicating a significant difference in FSI scores in groups receiving chemotherapy and not receiving chemotherapy (p=0.042).  From the results, we concluded that Cancer-related fatigue is highly prevalent in patients who are receiving chemotherapy than those who are not receiving chemotherapy. The underlying causes of CRF are poorly understood and further research is warranted in order to assess CRF before and after treatment and develop effective, patient-centred management strategies and to improve quality of life.
