Proof of Efficacy Study to Evaluate an Ayurvedic Formulation in the Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis: An Open Label Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
A study on 250 patients compared the Ayurvedic formulation IMMBO to a levocetirizine-montelukast combination for allergic rhinitis. IMMBO showed significantly greater improvements in symptoms (TNSS: -5.70 vs. -3.31) and IgE reduction (-351.54 vs. -208.79), demonstrating superior efficacy and safety.
Ayurvedic preparation in the treatment of nutritional anemia
A pilot study on 600 anemic women showed the highest hemoglobin gain (1.8 g%) with a combination of Ayurvedic preparations SS and Ayas, followed by Ayas (1.6 g%), SS (1.5 g%), and IFA tablets (1.1 g%). SS, a non-iron Ayurvedic preparation, improved iron absorption and showed promising results with minimal side effects.
Prevalence of Anemia among Pregnant Women and Adolescent Girls in 16 Districts of India
Nutritional anemia is widespread in India, affecting 84.9% of pregnant women and 90.1% of adolescent girls. Severe anemia is prevalent in both groups. The Government of India provides iron and folic acid to pregnant women, but no similar program exists for adolescent girls. Interventions should address iron, B12, and folic acid deficiencies.
Observational research on the effect of an Ayurvedic treatment protocol in patients of hereditary pancreatitis
Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a chronic genetic disorder with limited treatment options. This study evaluated the efficacy of a year-long Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol (ATP) in 151 patients, 88 of whom completed the program. The treatment included Ayurvedic formulations, dietary adjustments, and discontinuation of pancreatic enzymes. Results showed a 92.8% reduction in attack frequency and a 98.7% decrease in hospitalizations (p < 0.0001), with no adverse effects. ATP demonstrated safety and effectiveness in managing HP, suggesting the need for further research.
Sustainable Effect of Ayurvedic Formulations in the Treatment of Nutritional Anemia in Adolescent Students
This study evaluated the impact of Ayurvedic treatments (Sootshekhar Rasa and Sitopaladi Churna) on nutritional anemia in 1322 adolescent students in Dehradun. After 90 days of treatment, significant hemoglobin improvements were seen in the treatment groups, especially those receiving a daily dose of 250 mg SR and 400 mg SC. The study concluded that this combination effectively improves anemia in adolescents without adverse effects.
Changing Demography of Pancreatitis Patients in India -A Hospital Based Study
Pancreatitis is rising globally, with major risk factors including alcohol, tobacco, and family history. A study of 800 patients in North India found higher incidences among non-alcoholic, non-tobacco users, and those with no family history. The disease mostly affected men (4.6:1) aged 19-45, particularly in the service class and students. Further research is needed to explore its causes and extent in the region.
