Primary purpose of protocol: To determine the relative effectiveness of various Basti formulations within the Kala Basti pattern for reducing Low Back Pain (LBP). Additionally, the study aims to assess the influence of Basti therapy on outcomes measured by the Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire, The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, and SF-36 among individuals with LBP.
The methodology of this study involves a comparative analysis of different Basti formulations within the Kala Basti pattern for managing Low Back Pain (LBP). Participants will be recruited and grouped based on specific Basti techniques administered. Data on pain intensity, functional disability, and quality of life will be collected using validated scales such as the Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire, The Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, and SF-36. Statistical analyses will be employed to compare the effectiveness of Basti formulations and assess their impact on LBP outcomes. Additionally, subgroup analyses may be conducted to explore the influence of potential confounding factors. Dissemination of findings: The findings of the study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and knowledge-sharing platforms within the Ayurvedic community to inform practice, policy, and future research endeavors. |
