Kampavata
(Parkinson’s disease) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. The disease
affects approximately 2 out of 1000 people, and most often develops after age
of fifty, the clinical course is chronic and progressive with severe disability
attained after approximately ten years.
According
to Ayurveda, Kampavata is a Nanatmaja disorder of Vata. In time of Caraka and
Susruta cluster of symptoms like Kampa (tremor), Stambha (rigidity),
Chestasanga (bradykinesia and akinesia), Vakvikriti (disturbance in speech) etc
were described in different contexts, but they were not clubbed as part of one
disease. As a separate clinical entity of Kampavata was first narrated by
Acaraya Madhavakara under the name of “Vepathu”. However, it was the
Basvarajiyam who for the first time
gave an
unabigous description by explaining the clinical picture of Kampavata as and
all these clinical features are similar to that of Parkinson’s disease.
In
modern medical science, the goal of treatment for this disease is to alleviate
symptoms that interfere with the patients activities of daily living and to
prevent or limit its complication as Parkinson’s disease is a progressive
disease leading to crippling of the patients. Treatment for Parkinson’s disease
is dopamine replacement therapy, Other drugs like anticholinergic drug,
Dopamine agonists, COMT inhibitors are used but as disease progresses these
drugs slowly escalated. Further these drugs having undesirable side effects.
Some new stereostatic surgical methods are also employed but having great risk
and there is chance of failure. So Parkinson’s disease remained unabated at the
face of scientific society.
Thus
there is a need for effective, rejunenative therapy devoid of any side effect.
In
Ayurveda Kapikacchu is having Balya, Brimhanaha, Vrishya, and Vatahara properties
and is a natural source of L-dopa. So keeping in views of the degenerative
nature of the Kampavata Kapikacchu is given in purified form and under strict
medical supervision has greater patient symptom improvement along with
Panchakarma therapies which aims at controlling Vata and checking other clinical
conditions associated with the disease.
