First group was treated with Lasuna Ksheerpaka as experimental group; Second group was treated with shephalipatra kwath as controlled group. Clinical parameters like Ruk, Toda, Stambha, Spandan, Gourav, Tandra, Aruchi, SLR test were adopted. These were suitably graded to assess the results that were statistically analyzed. Results: The above distribution shows that in group- A there were 24 patients got moderate change, 2 patients got mild changes and 4 patients got Good change, where as in the group-B there were 20 patients got moderate changes, 9 patients got mild changes and 1 patient got good change in symptoms. But according to the Mann-Whitney test (Z), the difference between both of above group was found non significant, as the calculated P>0.05. From this we can conclude that the treatments given to the both of the groups are equally effective.
