A disorder known as Avascular Necrosis (AVN), which causes bone cells to die, is brought on by an interruption in the blood flow to a particular area of bone tissue. The terms osteonecrosis, ischemic necrosis, aseptic necrosis, bone necrosis, and bone infarction are also used to refer to AVN. The current study aims to evaluate how Ayurvedic medicines & treatments help patients recover from Avascular Necrosis safely and effectively without requiring surgery.
A thorough search was conducted using electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. To refine the findings, search terms such as "non-surgical treatment," "herbal medicine," "Osteonecrosis," "Avascular Necrosis," and "Ayurveda" were used. Case studies and review articles discussing ayurvedic treatment for AVN in human patients were included in the inclusion criteria. Excluded sources included surgical procedure studies, animal research studies, and non-peer-reviewed literature.
Taken together, six examples met the inclusion criteria. Ayurvedic treatments included food and lifestyle changes, a few procedures of Panchakarma therapy, and herbal medications. Most studies found that significant pain reduction enhanced radiographic bone density, joint function, and quality of life. In many situations, it also reduced necrotic regions and improved joint function. In the non-surgical treatment of AVN, ayurvedic medications help to alleviate pain, enhance joint function, and improve the overall quality of life.
Keywords: AVN, Ayurveda, bone necrosis, Panchakarma therapy, non-surgical treatment.
