“…All study participants in the intervention group were observed for the AMA score which is presumed to be an Ayurvedic marker for amavata disease activity [ 19 ]. Mean Ama score in the RA patients was observed to be 63.84 ± 13.91 before treatment which was reduced to 33.19 ± 13.84 after 3 month of Ayurveda intervention.…”

“…The study included serum samples collected from: RA Patients (RA), Follow Up (RAF), Post Treatment (RAT) and Healthy Control (HC). As per approval, the study enrolled RA patients diagnosed as per the ACR 2010 criteria and Amavata diagnosed on the basis of classical Amavata symptoms as depicted in Madhava Nidana and as elaborated by Rastogi et al, 2009 [ 9 , 10 ] and met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The enrolled patients received AWS intervention (which includes oral medicines, local therapy, and dietary recommendations) at the Ayurveda – Arthritis Treatment and Advanced Research Centre, State Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Lucknow, India (A-ATARC OPD at SAC & Hospital, Lucknow) for 3 Months.…”

“…It was a pleasure reading an article related to development and validation of an Aam instrument published recently in the JAIM [ 1 ]. There is indeed a need to develop such validated instruments based on clinical signs and symptoms.…”

“…The clinical decisions taken in traditional medical practices are usually dependent on clinical features. The methodical development and rational validation of ama assessment instrument (AAI) provides a wide scope for the clinical assessment of the disease activity of amavata and evaluation of the efficacy of therapeutic measures during the management of these patients [ 1 ]. Incidentally, another published study recently has attempted to develop an instrument for assessment of agni and ama in amavata based on six parameters for agni and fourteen parameters for ama.…”

Background: Postviral arthritis is a common consequence of seasonal viral infections caused by chikungunya and dengue viruses. Presenting in its acute and chronic stages, arthritis often remains a stable complication of such infections in a large population. Despite its regular occurrence in epidemic proportions in India on a yearly basis, any substantial and dependable management is not available in conventional medicine to treat the primary condition and prevent joint-related complications. As a result, many among the affected population visit Ayurveda and other alternative system of medicine Practitioners in search of relief. Despite of finding a large input of such patients in Ayurveda clinics, serious observation has not been done in Ayurveda also to delineate the pattern and outcome of postviral arthritis treated at Ayurveda clinics. Aims and Objectives: Since a serious epidemiological and outcome observation is important as a proof of concept to initiate more serious studies in this area in the future, this observational study was done having focused upon these objectives at a secondary care Ayurveda arthritis treatment center in North India. Materials and Methods: Patients fulfilling the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria were registered and followed up for defined period of ayurvedic intervention. Subsequently outcomes were reported through gross statistical methods. Result: An average 56.8% improvement was reported by the study participants having received Ayurveda treatment for about 8 weeks. A substantial reduction in need of analgesics (needed only by <4% people post treatment) was also observed suggesting the beneficial effects of Ayurveda interventions in postviral arthritis. Conclusion: These preliminary observations suggest the conduction of serious clinical trials to see the effectiveness of Ayurveda interventions in postviral arthritis.
