Abstract
BackgroundPanchavalkala Kwatha and Jatyadi Taila are recommended for cleaning and healing of non-healing ulcers such as Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) and Varicose Ulcers (VU). ObjectivesInnovative topical aerosol sprays viz. Panchavalkala Kwatha Aerosol Spray (PKS) and Jatyadi Taila (Healz) Aerosol Spray (JTS) were evaluated for healing in DFU & VU against conventional treatment. Materials & methodsAfter obtaining approval from Ethics Commitees & informed consent, 53 patients were randomized in two study groups. In one group, ulcer cleaning was done with PKS and then JTS was used for dressing while in other group, cleaning was done with Hydrogen peroxide and/or Hypochlorite followed by dressing with 10% Povidone iodine. Ulcer examination was done from baseline to every 7th day by Bates Jensen ulcer assessment tool, digital photographs and photographic ulcer assessment tool. Comparison of categorical variables was done using t-test. ResultsThe dual action of PKS and JTS exhibited potentially comparable effect to the conventional treatment. ConclusionPKS and JTS were found to be effective, comfortable, hygenic and acceptable in management of chronic ulcers.
