Abstract: Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent degenerative joint disorder causing pain, disability, and reduced quality of life, particularly among older adults. This randomized controlled trial compared the efficacy and safety of Roghan-e-Hina (Lawsonia inermis L.) with diclofenac diethylamine 1.16% in managing knee osteoarthritis (Waja’ al-Rukba). Forty participants were randomly assigned to test and control groups, receiving topical applications for 45 days. Outcomes were measured using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score and a visual analogue scale (VAS). Both groups showed significant improvements in pain severity and joint function, with no statistically significant differences between them. No adverse events were reported during the study. The findings suggest that Roghan-e-Hina is as effective and safe as diclofenac gel for knee osteoarthritis management, offering a promising alternative with potential therapeutic benefits rooted in Unani medicine. In this article author explain that effect of Roghan-e-Hina in Waja’ al-Rukba (Knee Osteoarthritis) was carried out in department of Moalajat, Luqman Unani Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Vijayapur, Karnataka.
