TITLE OF THE STUDY-AN OPEN LABEL SINGLE ARM CLINICAL TRIAL TO
EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF GUDUCHYADI KWATHA SADHITA KARPASA KOSHA BANDHA IN
EPISIOTOMY WOUND.
SUMMARY-
A surgically planned incision on the
perineum and posterior vaginal wall during second stage
of labour is called Episiotomy.As the
perineum is highly susceptible to infection due to different
secretions like vaginal
discharges,faeces and urine, episiotomy wound requires a proper care as
puerperal sepsis is one of the most
common complications of episiotomy which may add to
maternal
mortality and morbidity.
In practice anti-biotic and anti- inflammatory drugs
are used for treatment of
episiotomywound.Some puerpura may have allergic
reactions, gastritis etc effects by these
drugs and cause different health problems in breast
fed infants. Hence there
is a need to find
an herbal remedy which acts as anti-inflammatory and analgesic and promotes wound healing.
Episiotomy wound can be compared to chinnavrana (a
type of sadhyovrana) and so its
treatment can be inferred as that of sadhyovrana
.Sadhyochinnavrana should be managed by
vranahara,shothahara and shulahara drugs. The drugs
selected for this study ieGuduchi, Haridra
and Triphala are having these properties and also
they are proved to be anti- inflammatory and
analgesic.
There are sterile pads available in the market for
the dressing of the wound with wound
healing properties.
Instead of using tropical
applications, it is preferable to use sterile bandages
which will be helpful in preventing wound infection
and contamination of wound by faeces and
urine. Bandha is one among ShastiUpakramamentioned
for vranachikitsa by Acharya
Shusruta.Considering the above facts, episiotomy
care with Guduchyadikwathasadhitakarpasa
bandha kosha is selected for present study which is sterile
in the sizeof 6*4 cm applied
twice daily for 7 days and assessment will be done
on 3rd, 7th and 15th day.
