Evaluation of comparative efficacy of Withania Somnifera treated milk decoction enema with Tribulus Terrestris treated milk decoction enema in Undernutrition - Randomized controlled trial a Protocol
ABSTRACT
Background:
Undernutrition is one of the eight socially despicable, or as said in Charak Samhita, it is one of the eight undesirable conditions (Ashtau ninditiya purush) mentioned by Acharya Charaka . When the body gets emaciated gradually over time, that condition is known as Karshya. It is a nutritional deficiency. It is a condition with poor absorption, excessive loss of nutrients, or inadequate food consumption. Food is one of the three main pillars of life. Karshya can be correlated with undernutrition. As Rasa Dhatu (which can be correlated with plasma) is not produced correctly, due to which following Dhatu also gets affected and leads to undernutrition
Objective:
To compare the efficacy of Tribulus Terrestris-treated milk decoction enema and whitania somnifera-treated milk decoction enema in undernutrition with criteria like total body weight, body mass index, and anthropometric measurements.
Methods:
- In this study, 60 patients will be divided into two groups. In Group, A will be whitania somnifera treated milk decoction enema will be administered in the dose form of 200ml for eight days .The same will be used for the other 30 patients, i.e., group B with Tribulus Terrestris treated milk decoction enema.
Results:
The result will be assessed on the baseline of objective parameters, and data will be compared after the treatment
Conclusions:
To be based on observations and results obtained. Clinical Trial: CTRI No. - CTRI/2022/12/048024 (clinical trial registry India)
