Gridhrasi (Sciatica) is one of the most frequent
health conditions associated with vatavyadhi that we
frequently handle. Its characteristic symptoms include
burning, stinging, or numbness in the leg, foot, thigh, or
buttocks. It might or might not have anything to do with
back pain. Both physically inactive and physically
demanding patient types appear to be affected by
gridhrasi. The Chikitsasutra of Gridhrasi contains
statements about Siravyadha made by Charya Charaka,
Sushruta, Vagbhatta Yogratnakara, and Bhela.. A well-
performed siravyadha provides lightness in the painful
places of the body, a decrease in pain, a lessening of
vyadhi intensity, and a positive outlook. Siravyadha is
usually employed when a disorder has a conspicuously
painful sign. A study was conducted to evaluate
siravyadha's efficiency in Gridharasi. The goal of the
study was to ascertain how effectively Siravyadha
regulates Gridhrasi's pain quotient. After the detection of
drava snigdha yavagu pana, sthanika snehana, swedana,
and samyak stravit lakshanas in a single subject,
Siravydha was carried out.. The pain quotient was
assessed using a scoring system and VAS before the
siravyadha procedure and immediately after the
procedure. Siravyadha was feasible enough to provide
reduction in pain symptom of Gridhrasi.
