EVALUATION OF ANALGESIC EFFECT OF TAB TRAILOKYA VIJAYA VATI IN POST-OPERATIVE PAIN IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING KSHARKARMA: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Despite advances in technology and robotics, the fundamentals of surgical management have not changed drastically. Ayurveda, the science
of life, has extensive knowledge of operations, including the complicated procedures mentioned in the classical texts. However, over time,
the ability of anesthetics and analgesics was lost. This resulted in the backwardness of Ayurvedic surgical wisdom and the rise of modern
analgesics and anesthetics in the market. These current products have potential side effects and therefore a safer and better alternative to
these products can support Ayurvedic surgery worldwide. Trailokya Vijaya Vati (TVV) is one such Ayurvedic formulation which is
explained by its potent analgesic activity. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TVV in the treatment of
postoperative pain in patients undergoing anorectal procedures. An observational study indicated a reduction in sleep time (p < 0.05), a lower
incidence of insomnia and undisturbed sleep in the treatment group than in the control group. The formulation was also well tolerated with
no or minimal requirements for rescue analgesics. The efficacy observed in the study suggests that the product can be further investigated
in a larger population with a different activity profile
