| Abstract: | A randomized placebo controlled study was
designed to evaluate the efficacy of massage with Roghan Seer
(a polyherbal Unani formulation), in motor recovery
in Hemiplegia secondary to ischaemic stroke. Forty patients of ischaemic stroke
diagnosed radiologically, presenting with hemiplegia (Falije Nisfi) were randomly allocated to Group A (test) and
Group B (control); comprising 20 patients each. Patients in Group A were
massaged with Roghan Seer whereas patients in Group B were massaged with
white petroleum jelly. The study reveals that there was significant
improvement in voluntary movements of lower limb (p<0.05) and basic mobility
(p<0.05) in Group A as compared to Group B. There was no significant
improvement in voluntary movements of upper limb in both Group A and B
(p>0.05). |
