Brief Summary  

INTRODUCTION:

This is an open clinical trial that evaluates therapeutic effectiveness of siddha formulation THIPPILI NEI in the management of SWASAKAASAM (BRONCHIAL ASTHMA) patients through improvement in lung volumes and capacities in pulmonary function test reports, IgE, ESR, Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) before and after treatment and changes in the Asthma Control Questionnaire(ACQ). Asthma affects 5-10% of the population or an estimated 23.4 million persons, including 7 million children. Approximately 300 million people worldwide currently have asthma and its prevalence increases by 50% every decade. Annually, the World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that 15 million disability-adjusted life-years are lost and 250,000 asthma deaths are reported worldwide. In Asia, increased prevalence is likely dramatic in India and china.

OBJECTIVE:

·  To assess the therapeutic effectiveness of Siddha formulation “THIPPILI NEI” in the management of “SWASAKAASAM” (BRONCHIAL ASTHMA) by using Pulmonary function test (PFT), IgE, AEC and ESR

·  To observe the changes in clinical symptoms by Asthma control Questionaire

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A Total of 10 diagnosed patients of  Swasakaasam (Bronchial Asthma) within the age limit of 18 -60 years willing to participate in the study, by signing the consent form will be enrolled in the study.
