Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Cerebral palsy (C.P) has been described as a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture causing activity limitations that are attributed to non progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing foetal or infant brain. Cerebral palsy cannot be directly co-related with any single disease mentioned in Ayurveda, as it is a multi-factorial condition As all most all neurological disorders are identified with the derangement of Vata and considering the clinical features of Cerebral palsy, it can be correlated with Vatavyadhi. The available therapies are also highly expensive and complicated. In spite of all the sophisticated technologies, no effective treatment for the underlying brain pathology has been formulated till date. Considering all these, this study has been undertaken to increase the functional and physical capabilities, reduce muscle stiffness thereby minimizing the disability and promoting independence in activities of daily living. Even small degree of improvement makes a great difference. The present case was carried out in OPD&IPD koumarabhrithyam department, Sri adhishiva sadguru alisaheb shivaaryula ayurvedic medical college, Guntakal, A.P to evaluate the Ayurvedic treatment in cerebral palsy.
