Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Agnikarma with Traditional Method described by Sushrut Samhita  Pancha Dhatu Shalaka with 0.5 cm diameter tip Heated on flame until it becomes hot red. Agnikarma in the form of samyak twak dagdha (therapeutic superficial skin burn) as done by making a Binduvat dahana vishesa (single dot at maximum tender site) with dahanopakarana Appropriate precaution will be taken not to produce asamyak dagdha vrana 
Intervention  i)Cauterization with Electrocautery  i) To achieve lakshana of samyakdagdha by Cauterization with Electrocautery of 300 mAmp with intensity at 1 to relieve pain and improve mobility of affected part in Avabahukaa, Vatakantakaa, Janu Sandhigat Vata and Snayugat Vata ii) To establish convenient method to perform Agnikarma using single instrument i.e. Electrocautery. Three sittings of Cauterization at an interval of three weeks will be done to assess the symptmps of these diseases and observations will be tabulized and conclusion will be drawn accordingly.

Brief Summary  

Agnikarma is one of the important Anushalyakarma (Para surgical process). Agnikarmais the best treatment for many disorders amongst all Para surgical procedures because the diseases cured by Agnikarma will never reoccur Though Agnikarma is best modality but its traditional procedure has its own limitations due to its complex structure and various procedural differences in different conditions. It is need of time to develop and use sophisticated instrument with measurable parameters so that procedure is universally acceptable and reproducible. Electrocautery, also known as thermal cautery, refers to a process in which a direct or alternating current is passed through a resistant metal wire electrode, generating heat. The heated electrode is then applied to living tissue to achieve hemostasis or varying degrees of tissue destruction3. Each electrocautery device can deliver heat at a single temperature or range of temperatures, between 100oC and 1200oC. Most devices also include interchangeable tips such as loops, fine tips, and needle tips4.

Thus electrocautery which is sophisticated instrument having varying standardized intensities can be used as Agnikarma instrument to simplify all the problems. Agnikarma using these instruments will be more easy as well as standardized after which the use of Agnikarma Chikitsa will be increased and also the analysis of the textual facts can be verified on different scales so that the perfect interpretation of this procedure and its remarkability will be proved.

Certain Agnikarma sadhya vyadhi are selected for assessment of this study after detailed review of previous work and depending on availability of patients in our OPD. Those are Avabahukaa (Frozen Shoulder), Vatakantakaa (Calcaneal Spur), Janu sandhigat vat (Osteo Arthritis), Snayugat Vata (tenis elbow). Pain is important symptom in these diseases. In previous study it was observed that all these diseases were treated satisfactorily by Agnikarma. In all studies Agnikarma was carried out with different instruments. Hence to evaluate same efficacy with a single instrument i.e. electrocautery current study is selected.

Current Study is having novelty in selection of operating procedure for Agnikarma. It is Open Labeled, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study. Electrocautery as Agnikarma device will be selected and tested for its effectiveness with traditional Agnikarma procedure in Twakdagdha sadhya vyadhi. Clinical study will be carried out in two groups. Observation from both groups will be noted. Analyzed statistically and Discussed with conclusion after study.
