Chakramarda Ghrita & Go-Ghrita in the management of Parikartika (fissure in ano): An Ayurvedic management protocol for the treatment of fissure

Abstract

Anal Fissure is one of the significant causes of pain in the anal region. The two primary signs of this disease are pain and bleeding, and pain is often unbearable. In males, anal fissure typically occurs in the midline posterior - 90 %, and 10 % midline anterior. Subsequently, female fissures on the midline anteriorly are significantly more frequent than posteriorly (60:40). In contemporary sciences, Parikartika can be correlated with Fissure in Ano. The objective of the prospective study is to find the effectiveness of Chakramarda Ghrita & GoGhrita in the management of Parikartika. The present study is designed as a randomized, single-blind parallel in which 30 patients will be enrolled. Ghrita will be applied for local application twice a day. Assessment will be done 0^th, 7^th day, 14^th day, and 28^th day. The changes are expected to be observed in subjective parameters such as pain bleeding per rectum with itching as well as with objective parameters such as Parikartika Healing and tenderness. The study is expecting the non-surgical management of fissure in ano concerning the impact of Chakramarda Ghrita & GoGhrita. The research is expecting to be baseline and benchmark of the prospective studies in Parikartika.
