A Comparative Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Vidangadi Churna with that of Krimighna Dashemani Churna on Krimi Roga (Worm infestation) in Children- A randomized clinical trial.

Abstract

Introduction: Helminthic infestations contribute to the global burden of diseases in children, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Slums and rural areas are highly affected probably due to defective measures of sewage disposal and poor practices of hygiene. More than 1.5 billion people, or 24% of the world’s population, are infected with soil-transmitted helminth infections. Objectives: In this study, efforts are made to assess the Krimighna effect of Vidangadi churna and compare its efficacy with Krimighna dashemani churna on Kaphaja and Purishaja krimi. Materials and method: The recruited patients were randomly grouped into two, the patients in group A were administered Vidangadi Churna, twice a day with Madhu (Honey) as Sahapana, and the patients in group B were administered with Krimighna Dashemani Churna, twice a day, with Madhu (Honey) as Sahapana for 28 days in the dose as per patient’s age. Result: The assessment of signs and symptoms was done before and after the treatment. Both drugs showed significant effects and are equally effective in the management of Krimi Roga.
