As one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders encountered in Ayurvedic practice, Janu-Sandhigatavata has garnered significant attention due to its prevalence, especially among the aging population. This condition is often associated with degenerative changes in the knee joint, which can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and impaired quality of life. Janu-Sandhigatavata is corelated with Osteoarthritis of knee joint due to similar etiology and clinical features. It is a prevalent and debilitating condition characterized by the progressive degeneration of the knee joint's cartilage and surrounding structures. It is estimated that over 300 million people are affected by OA worldwide. Its treatment includes some medications, particularly long-term use of NSAIDs, can lead to side effects like gastrointestinal issues and an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. Surgical interventions, while often successful, come with risks, including infection, blood clots, and a potentially lengthy recovery period. Some treatments, especially surgical procedures and newer medications, can be costly and may not be accessible to all patients. Ayurvedic interventions for Janu-Sandhigatavata focus on restoring the balance of Vata dosha, strengthening the affected joint, and alleviating pain and inflammation through natural therapies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle recommendations. Agnikarma procedure will help in normalance of Vata dosha and Yograja Guggulu also has deepana, pachana, stroto-vishodhana property which works well in normalance of body metabolism. So, we desire to conduct research on the effectiveness of Agnikarma and Yograja Guggulu in the management of Janu-Sandhigatavata.
