Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder, which arising in early stages of development of child. There are many etiology factors like antenatal, natal and postnatal factors responsible for causing cerebral palsy but exact cause is still unknown. Spasticity is the main feature of cerebral palsy(). Classification of CP is too broad on the basis of physiological and topographic etc. Symptoms of spastic cerebral palsy can be corelated with Jadhata in Ayurveda. In Jadata, there is tightness of muscles occurs. Improvement can be got in children with ayurvedic treatment. Aim- To improve the quality of life of child suffered from spastic CP. Place and duration of study- Study was done in Parul Ayurved Hospital, Vadodara, Gujarat. Method- In this case study, Samavardhan ghrita() orally, snehana() with bala taila() and svedan () with dashmmola kwath () was given to child for 31 days.

Depression is common disorder and contributes largely to nonfatal health loss characterized by feeling of sadness or loss of interest in activities which can be correlated to kaphaja Unmada. In Ayurveda, choice of treatment for Kaphaja Unmada is Vamana with Satwavajaya Chikitsa, Shamana Aushadhi, and Medhya Rasayana. A treatment protocol was designed based on signs and symptoms of the patient and was administered Sarvanga Udvartana with Bashpa Sweda, Sirotalam, Vamana, Patent medicine (Composed of Jyotishmati Taila, Shuddha Gandhaka, Shankhapushpi, Vacha, Jatamamsi and Bhringraja) and Saraswatarishta. This treatment was helpful in reducing the intensity of symptoms and improving his quality of life of an extent. This helps us to understand the scope of Ayurvedic intervention for mental disorders. Ayurveda provides various effective solutions to various diseases which come under the umbrella of Unmada.

Ashworth Scale

Cerebral Palsy is defined as permanent, nonprogressive and occasionally evolving, disorders of tone, movement or posture, caused by an insult to the developing brain. It is the most common chronic motor disability in childhood, affecting 2-3 infants per 1000 live births. In Ayurveda there is no single condition or disease which exactly show similarity with Cerebral Palsy. Vata vyadhi is the most similar condition to Cerebral Palsy. Ayurveda mentioned Shodhana and Shamana as two main therapeutic measures in vata vyadhi. The case study being presented is of a 5yr old female patient suffering from diplegic spastic Cerebral Palsy. So, Panchakarma therapy and Shamana chikitsa has been given and assessed on the basis of CNS examination, GMFCS classification and Modified Ashworth scale. The result indicate that the patient improved in presenting features up to 35%-40% as well as daily activities were also performed effectively by her. Ayurvedic treatment modality was effective in improving the milestones of Cerebral Palsy patients.

AbstractThis study investigated the effect of hippotherapy on gross motor function (Gross Motor Function Measure [GMFM]-66, GMFM dimension E and D) and quality of life (Child Health Questionnaire [CHQ 28], KIDSCREEN-27 parental versions) in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Seventy-three children (age: 9.1 ± 3.3 years; male = 44; GMFCS levels II = 27; III = 17; IV = 29) were randomized to an early (n = 35) or late (n = 38) treatment group. Data from 66 probands were available for further analysis. Probands received hippotherapy once to twice weekly during a period of 16 to 20 weeks (mean: 17 treatments) in a crossover approach. Whereas no significant changes were found for total GMFM scores and quality of life parameters, a significant increase in GMFM dimension E was found. Children terminating the study early showed lower mean psychosocial quality of life scores than children who completed the whole study (CHQ-28 “psychosocial dimension”; KIDSCREEN-27 “mood and emotional dimension”). Our data are in line with previous reports and suggest that hippotherapy shows distinct therapeutic strengths with regard to promoting upright stand and gait in children with cerebral palsy. Children with higher psychosocial burden of disease may need special support to get access to and benefit from intensified physiotherapy programs.

Objective To evaluate the child’s quality of life (QoL), mother’s burden, and correlation between these parameters in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods Children with spastic CP (n = 120; mean age: 8.64 ± 3.45 years; range: 2–17 years) were classified into three groups of diplegia, hemiplegia, and quadriplegia based on topographical classification. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and Zarit Burden Interview were used to determine the child’s QoL and the mother’s burden scores, respectively. Results Children’s QoL scores were lower in the quadriplegia group than in the hemiplegia and diplegia groups (except for emotional functioning). The mother’s burden was lower in the quadriplegia group than in the other groups, and it was lower in the diplegia group than in the hemiplegia group. Increases in children’s QoL scores were associated with decreases in the mothers’ burden scores. Conclusion Children’s QoL is associated with the mother’s burden in spastic CP, and quadriplegic children and their mothers are more affected. The burden of mothers ranked the highest in the quadriplegia group, followed by the diplegia group and the hemiplegia group. Topographical classification is a good indicator for children’s QoL and the mother’s burden in spastic CP.
