Abstract


Avabahuka (Frozen Shoulder) is a Vata-dominant musculoskeletal disorder characterized by pain. Ayurvedic texts describe the condition with symptoms like pain ("Shula") and stiffness ("Stabdhata") in the shoulder joint. This randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of Dashmool and Masha Kwath in treating Avabahuka (Frozen Shoulder). Sixty patients were divided into two groups: Group A, treated with Triyodashang Guggul, and Group B, treated with Dashmool and Masha Kwath. Clinical assessments, including pain intensity and range of motion, were conducted before and after the intervention. Results indicated that both treatments alleviated symptoms, but Dashmool and Masha Kwath demonstrated superior improvements across most outcome measures.
