Basti Karma is considered as Ardhachikitsa as it is the prime treatment modality in Vataja Vikaras. It is of two types, Niruha basti and Sneha Basti. Generally, Niruha Basti and Sneha Basti are not administered continuously in consecutive days. Niruha Basti is one important procedure among Chatushprakara Samshodhana. Gridhrasi is enumerated one among the Vata Nanatmaja and Saamanyaja Vata Vikaras. It is correlated with disease ‘Sciatica’ in modern parlance. Most commonly encountered factors for the disease are bad posture, irregular and unwholesome dietary habits, travelling in jerky vehicles etc. It is having a prevalence of 40 % in the population the impact of which is staggering on society. In spite of tremendous advancements in field of modern medicine, the management of Sciatica in contemporary science is still limited and has a less favorable outcome and consumes more health resources. As Niruha Basti with excess Sneha alone can be administered without Anuvasana Basti in Kevala Vata conditions, in this study therapeutic effect of Snehapragada Niruha Basti without Anuvasana Basti in Vataja Gridhrasi was evaluated. It is a single group study with pre and post-test design. In this, 30 patients were taken for the study. The subjective and objective parameters were observed before, after treatment and after follow up and were recorded in the case Proforma of Gridhrasi. It has shown significant reduction in clinical symptomatology of Gridhrasi and was found to be effective in improving the Lakshanas of Gridhrasi with P value >0.05
