Ankylosing spondylitis belongs to a group of rheumatic diseases known as the spondyloarthropathies (SpA), which show a strong association with the genetic marker HLA-B27. Inflammatory back pain and stiffness are prominent early in the disease, whereas chronic, aggressive disease may produce pain and marked axial immobility or deformity. Modern medicine has no established treatment for it. From the Ayurvedic perspective, the disease can fall under amavata, which may be effectively managed when intervention is started in its early stages. Niruha basthi with Balaguduchyadi yoga, combined by Shamana treatment with Rasnerandadi kwatha and Simhanada guggulu have been found effective in curbing its progression. This article presents a single case report in which these treatments achieved considerable success.
强直性脊柱炎属于一组称为脊柱关节病（SpA）的风湿性疾病，这些疾病与遗传标记HLA - B27密切相关。炎症性背痛和僵硬在疾病早期较为突出，而慢性、侵袭性疾病可能会导致疼痛和明显的轴向活动受限或畸形。现代医学对此病尚无既定的治疗方法。从阿育吠陀医学的角度来看，该病可归为“ama vata”，在疾病早期开始干预时可有效控制。已发现采用Balaguduchyadi瑜伽的滴注灌肠法，联合使用Rasnerandadi kwatha和Simhanada guggulu的整体疗法进行治疗，可有效遏制其病情发展。本文介绍了一个单一病例报告，其中这些治疗取得了显著成功。
