Brief Summary  

TITLE OF DISSERTATION

A RANDOMIZED CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE EFFICACY OF CHITRAKADI CHURNA & LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT IN PREDIABETES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HBA1C.


Background


Prediabetes is an intermediate metabolic state between normoglycemia and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), characterized by impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). It is a significant public health concern due to its high prevalence and the risk of progression to T2DM and related complications such as cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise, are the cornerstone of prediabetes management. However, maintaining long-term adherence to lifestyle changes is challenging for many individuals.


Ayurveda offers several herbal formulations with potential hypoglycemic, insulin-sensitizing, and metabolism-enhancing properties. Chitrakadi Churna, known for its deepana (digestive stimulant) and pachana (carminative) effects, may help improve metabolic function and regulate blood sugar levels. However, there is a lack of robust clinical evidence comparing Chitrakadi Churna with conventional lifestyle interventions for prediabetes management.


Purpose of the Trial


This study aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy of Chitrakadi Churna combined with lifestyle modifications versus lifestyle modifications alone in prediabetes management. Specifically, the objectives are:

 

OBJECTIVES: -

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE-

        To Study & Compare effect of Chitrakadi Churna and Lifestyle Management In Prediabetes w.s.r to HbA1C.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES-

        To Study the Effect of Chitrakadi Churna In The Management Of Prediabetes w.s.r. To HbA1C.

        To Study the Effect of Lifestyle Management On Prediabetic Patients w.s.r HbA1C.

        To assess the effect of chitrakadi churna & lifestyle management on body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio in Prediabetes.

 

 

 

RESEARCH QUESTIONS-

1.     Is Chitrakadi Churna is effective in themanagement of Prediabetes w.s.r HbA1C?

2.     Is the effect of Chitrakadi Churna is significant than lifestyle management in prediabetes w.s.r to HbA1C?

 

 

 

HYPOTHESIS-

NULL HYPOTHESIS- There is no significant difference between the efficacy of Chitrakadi Churna and lifestyle management in prediabetes w.s.r. HbA1C.

ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS- - There is a significant difference between the efficacy of Chitrakadi Churna and lifestyle management in prediabetes w.s.r. HbA1C

4.     4.HBA1C

5.     FBS (Fasting Blood Glucose)

6.     PPBS (Post Prandial Blood Glucose)

7.     Fasting Urine sugar

8.     Post Prandial Urine sugar.
