Ayurvedic Management of Hemiparesis/ Hemiplegia in Children - A Clinical Case Study

Hemiparesis is the condition in which the muscle weakness or partial paralysis occurs on one side of the body that can affect the arms, legs and facial muscles. It may be seen either on left side or right side of the body. The severe form of hemiparesis is called hemiplegia. It means half-part of the body becomes weak and is unable to perform the daily living activities. It is mostly seen as stroke, arterial ischemic stroke contributes 80% of the cases among the strokes. The reported incidence rates are 3-8 per 10000 children per year and most of the between 1 to 5 years of age get affected with the hemiparesis due to in an increased incidence of infection at this age. If it is not treated properly, then there may be chance of limping gait, painful shoulder, contractures, sympathetic–reflex dystrophy, fracture, thalamic pain. Hemiparesis can be correlated with the Ayurvedic concept of Pakshaghata, which is a Vataja Nanatmaja Vyadhi. Here a case of 8yr old male child from rural area of Bellary district, Karnataka, India, had come to our hospital with unable to walk properly, weakness in right side of the body, involuntary movements in right upper limb and associated with unable to sit in squatting position. This condition was understood according to Ayurveda and treatment was planned like pakshaghata chikitsakrama which includes snehana, swedana and vasti for 8days along with some internal medication, then the child got recovered from weakness without any residual weakness within few weeks .Hence an attempt has been made to explore this case.
