Brief Summary  

Based on world health organization (WHO) data, worldwide burden of hypertension is substantial, with an estimated 1 billion individuals affected worldwide and 7.1 million deaths per year attributable to hypertension (Forouzanfar et al., 2017). Although several antihypertensive medications are already available and being widely in use but associated side effects like dizziness, headache, dry cough and sexual dysfunction (Bazzano et al., 2008) persuade development of novel and alternative treatments.

 

The study will be undertaken to assess the efficacy of herbal medication in control of hypertension on mild and moderate clinical patients. The efficacy of herbal medicine will be compared with control drug involving 60 patients each for trial medicine and for control medicine. Thus a total of 120 patients will be part of study. The assessment will be executed by recording of Blood pressure and compare the baseline data with data generated at the end of treatment. The treatment duration of medication will be for a period of 90 days [3 months].  

 

Involvement of allopathic medical practitioner has been included as Co-PI for the research program for selection and usage of standard allopathic drug [Telmisartan] as control. During the course of treatment, Body Mass Index (BMI) will be taken into consideration which is known to have strong linear relationship with hypertension (Landi el at., 2018). Additionally, specific investigations including HbA1C, Renal function test, Lipid Profile, Blood sugar random, and ECG baseline will be conducted.

 

The primary end point referred in the study include relief from symptoms while the secondary end point involve reduction/control of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure. The clinical assessment will be conducted every 7 days for the first month and subsequently for every two weeks during the treatment phase. The gradation of symptoms will be evaluated based on parameters like Shiroruka (Headache), Hrudravtava (Palpitation), Klama (Fatigability), Bhrama (Dizziness), Aruchi (Anorexia), Vibhanda (Constipation). These clinically subjective parameters will be correlated with objective parameters by recording Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure.
