Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the autoimmune disorders where the immune system attacks the covering of nerve fibers (myelin sheath) and causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. It is characterized by symptoms such as difficulty in walking, weakness of limbs, blurred vision, urinary and bladder incontinence. A 68-year-old female known case of Multiple Sclerosis from the United Kingdom approached the Panchakarma Outpatient department with complaints of difficulty in walking without assistance, weakness in the bilateral lower limb, disturbed sleep, urinary incontinence, bowel urgency and disturbed sleep for 29 years and was diagnosed as Pranavrita vyana vata and Majja Dhatu kshaya. Initially, the Avarana hara line of treatment was adopted, followed by Samanya vata vyadhi chikista. The outcome of the treatment was assessed by the Modified ashworth scale, Berg balance Scale, Barthel index of daily activities, Lower motor extremity index, MS walking scale and Sleep Quality Scale. Good improvement was observed in terms of walking, sleep, reduction in pain, weakness and heaviness. Ayurveda Panchakarma therapies, along with Shamanoushadhi, have provided promising results in the present case.
