Brief Summary
|
This study is to evaluate the effect of oral administration Shatapushpa Churna along with Shatapushpa taila nasya and to compare it with the effect of oral contraceptive pills containing Norethisterone and Ethinylestradiol in Artavadusti w. s. r. to Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. it is a randomized, open-labeled, comparative clinical trial conducted for 90 days with a follow-up of 30 days. It includes 94 female patients aged 18 to 40 years diagnosed with PCOS based on Rotterdam criteria. Participants are divided into two groups — one receiving Shatapushpa Churna with Shatapushpa Taila Nasya and the other receiving oral contraceptive pills containing Norethisterone and Ethinylestradiol. The main objective is to assess improvement and possible cure of PCOS and related menstrual irregularities (Artava Dushti). Secondary observations include changes in acne, hirsutism, hormone levels (LH, FSH, and testosterone), and ovarian size on ultrasonography. Assessment will be done through menstrual history, acne and hirsutism scoring, hormonal evaluation, and pelvic USG. The study aims to compare the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment with standard hormonal therapy in managing PCOS. |
