Amavata is a very painful condition in day-to-day life. It is a chronic disorder related to especially sandhisthanas (joints). It can be compared with Rheumatoid Arthritis (R.A.). In modern medicine, R.A. is treated with steroids and various NSAIDS which has multiple side – effects. In Ayurveda, Amavata is caused due to impairment of Agni (indigestion) and vitiation of Vata dosha which form ‘Aama - The untransformed, non-assimilated compo- nent in the digestive process.' Amavata is a madhyama rogamarga disease and causes severe pain, stiffness and is difficult to treat. Hence, there are chances of recurrence. For this, in Ayurveda, both Shamana and Shodhana treatments are explained very well. In this case study, the patient was dependent on steroids and her physiological functioning body was hampered. By Ayurvedic intervention (Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa) we have effec- tively manage the disease by gradually tapering the steroids and ultimately stopped. The sequential treatment plan is effectively used in this case. Keywords: Amavata, Aama, Shamana, Shodhana.

- Helicobacter pylori (HBP) is reported as one of the main causes of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and gastric cancer in the world. The challenge for finding an optimal treatment regimen for HBP eradication is still a matter of concern. The aim of this study was to compare the HBP eradication rate as well as side effects between two 10-days treatments of the standard triple and sequential regimen. This study was performed on patients with dyspepsia and HBP positive. Patients were categorized in two treatment groups including; standard (Omeprazole, Amoxicillin, and Clarithromycin) and sequential treatment (Omeprazole, Amoxicillin, Clarithromycin, and Metronidazole). HBP eradication rate, side effects, and treatment costs were compared between two groups. One hundred thirty-two patients (58 males, 74 females) with a mean age of 42.7±14.2-year-old were studied in two groups of Standard Treatment (n=66) and Sequential Treatment (n=66). There were not any significant differences between two groups regarding baseline features. The overall rate of HBP eradication was estimated to be 79.5%. Although, there was not any significant difference between the observed side effects, the mean cost of treatment in standard was significantly lower than that in the sequential group (P=0.001). It seems that there are not any clinical differences between 10-day treatment plan of the standard triple and sequential therapy in the case of HBP eradication and side effects. However, the sequential treatment might be a better option as the economic point of view. © 2019 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved. Acta Med Iran 2019;57(4):224-228.
