Dr. Sudipta Rudra*, Dr. Apala Sengupta and Dr. Abichal Chattopadhyay

ABSTRACT

Motor neuron disease is a progressive degenerative disorder of motor neurones in which spinal cord and cranial nerve nuclei and pyramidal neurons of motor cortex get affected. In Ayurveda it can be compared to that of the snayugata vata vyadhi after comparing the signs and symptoms and the etiopathegenesis of both. In these cases virechana followed by Baladi yapana vasti had been administered for 30 days and observations were noted. After completion of study, the subjective parameters like chesta nibritti (immobility), vaksthambh (dysarthria), kampa (fasciculation) etc. were reduced moderately to markedly in most of the cases. Further study should be carried out in large sample to establish the role of the said therapy in this particular disease.
