The most frequent clinical symptom of spinal pathology in musculoskeletal illnesses i.e., low back pain (Katishoola). In developing nations, lifestyle changes have harmed biological systems. The development of spinal illnesses is largely influenced by poor sleeping positions, sports activities, rapid movement during travel, and improper sitting postures. Being the most delicate musculoskeletal system and supporting the full weight of a human, the spine, especially the lumbar spine, is where this condition is most frequently observed. It is said that the kati pradesha (lumber region) is a significant Vata dosha seat. Vata is vitiated in the swasthana of Katishoola. The signs of the disease can be seen in a variety of diseases, including Katishoola, Trikshoola, Prishtashoola, and Vatik shoola, even though the ancient Acharyas did not name a single illness as Katishoola. Katishoola is mentioned by all the Acharyas under Vatavyadhi. In this study, a total of 50 clinically diagnosed patients with Katishoola were divided into two equal groups. Patients in group A were treated with Tryodashanaga Guggulu and Vishgarbh Tail and the patients in group B were treated with Vishtinduk Vati and Vishgarbh Tail. Seven different parameters like Ruk (pain), Stamba (Morning stiffness), Shopha (swelling), Sparsha Asahatva (tenderness), Restricted movement, Dehasyapi Pravakrata (scoliosis,) and S.L.R test were analyzed for 6 visits during 3 months of the treatment. In this study, we found that Tryodashanaga Guggulu and Vishgarbh Tail are more effective in managing katishoola than Vishtinduk Vati and vishgarbh tail.
