EFFECTIVENESS OF AYURVEDIC INTERVENTIONS IN THE TREATMENT OF SARVASARMUKHAROG (STOMATITIS): A CASE STUDY

This study evaluates the effectiveness of traditional Ayurvedic treatments in managing SarvasarMukharog (stomatitis), assessing their impact on symptom relief and overall quality of life. Stomatitis, characterized by the inflammation of the mucous membranes in the mouth,substantially impacts patients' daily activities due to pain and discomfort. This research specifically examined changes in the Visual Analog Scale (VAS),Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP-14),and Xerostomia Inventory scores among participants before and after undergoing Ayurvedic treatment protocols.Pre-treatment assessments showed that patients experienced severe symptoms, with an average pain level of 8 on the VAS, significantly affecting life quality with an OHIP-14 score of 45 and presenting high Xerostomia Inventory scores of 40, indicating severe dry mouth.After three moment of treatment,marked improvements were observed.The average pain level on the VAS dropped to 3, indicating a substantial reduction in oral discomfort. The OHIP-14 scores decreased to 15,reflecting significant enhancements in the patients'quality of life by mitigating the impacts of oral health issues.Furthermore, a reduction in the Xerostomia Inventory scores from 40 to 20 highlighted decreased symptoms of dry mouth.These findings suggest that Ayurvedic treatments effectively reduce the severity of symptoms associated with stomatitis and enhance patients'oral health and overall well being.The positive outcomes support the potential integration and further research of Ayurvedic practices into conventional medical treatments for comprehensive care in oral diseases.This study advocates for rigorous clinical trials to refine these traditional methods and confirm their applicability and benefits in wider healthcare settings.
