Introduction: The Rotator Cuff muscles are group of muscles and their tendons, which provides strength during motion to the shoulder complex. Acute injuries are encountered as a result of high-velocity trauma or recurrent microtrauma. Clinical signs include shoulder pain, difficulty in shoulder movements with sense of weakness, numbness, or tightness in and around the shoulder and pain while sleeping on the injured side.Measures for management can be conservative and surgical. Signs and symptoms of rotator cuff injury can be closely related with Snayuvidhalakshana explained in Susruta samhita Sutrasthana. In the present study, Pooteekatintrinyadi taila used for external application and then swasthika bandha is done. The formulation Pooteekatintrinyadi taila is mentioned in a manuscript compilation by Directorate of Ayurveda Medical Education, Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Kerala. Methodology: A clinical trial consisting of 25 participants between 18-60 years irrespective of gender from OPD and IPD of Shalyatantra Department Government Ayurveda College Kannur. Swasthika bandha with Pooteekatintrinyadi taila was given for selected participants. The parameters of assessment criteria like pain, swelling, tenderness was assessed on 0th, 5th, 10th, 15th & 21st day and improvement in range of movement on 21st day. Result and Discussion: Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to perform the statistical analysis. There was clinically as well as statistically significant effect on outcome variables like pain, swelling, tenderness and in the range of movements. The combined effect of bandage and intervention medicine Pooteekatintrinyadi taila is found to be effective to reduce the pain, swelling, tenderness, improve ROM and provide stability to shoulder joint. The statistical analysis was done using Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Statistical analysis of the variables suggests that the difference between on the 0th day and 21st day is highly significant with p value less than 0.005.
