6. BRIEF RESUME OF INTENDED WORK:

6.1 Need for the study

Acharya Sushruta has mentioned Arshas1 as one among asthamahagadas which gives troublesome pain like an enemy.2

Due to modern life style changes and sedentary occupation and other causative factors too, the hemorrhoids are extremely common lesions affect about 5% of the general population.3 Which interrupts the patients day today activities, so there is a need for effective and safe remedy to overcome from this dreadful condition.

Inspite of different medico-surgical modalities its prognosis for complete cure is still obscure due to operative and post operative complications.4

Acharya Sushruta has explained kshara karma is one among the four different treatment modalities for arshas.5 As kshara sutra is a medicated thread having simultaneous effect of cutting and healing 6 with less complications. Its advantages include minimum hospitalization, less of anaesthesia, cost effective with better results.

Various clinical trials have been done in the management of arshas by different kshara sutra. Now an attempt is made to evaluate the clinical comparative efficacy of two different kshara sutra like Chincha kshara sutra and Apamarga kshar sutra in Arshas, I would intend this study.
