Background: Spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) is the most common form of cerebral palsy, characterized by increased muscle tone and impaired motor function. Integrative therapies such as Panchakarma may improve outcomes, and Mashabaladi Kashaya may enhance therapeutic effects.
Objective: To evaluate the add-on effect of Mashabaladi Kashaya along with Panchakarma therapy in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial with two parallel groups was conducted over 48 days, followed by a 3-month follow-up. Children aged 1–10 years with SCP were randomly assigned to the trial group (Panchakarma with Mashabaladi Kashaya) or control group (Panchakarma only). Outcome measures included Modified Ashworth Scale, Goniometry, GMFM, MRC Scale, and Barthels Index.
Trial Status: Recruitment and intervention have been completed.
Outcome: The study is expected to demonstrate improvements in spasticity, mobility, and functional outcomes with combined therapy.
