Apabahuka is a disease that usually affects the Amsa sandhi (shoulder joint).It is produced by the Vata dosha. Even though the term Apabahuka is not mentioned in the nanatmaja Vata vyadhi, Acharya Sushruta and others have considered Apabahuka as a Vataja vikara. Amsa shosha (wasting of the shoulder) can be considered as the preliminary stage of the disease, where loss or dryness of sleshaka kapha from amsa sandhi occurs. For the present study, Marsha nasya with Laghumasa Taila was administered to 15 patients for seven days, and the following results were obtained. After treatment, 53.33% relief was found on Bahupraspandita hara, 26.66% on Shoola, 30.00% on Stambha, 60.00% on Atopa, and 37.50% on wasting of muscles. On the overall effect of therapy alone, one (6.60%) patient got marked improvement, eight (53.33%) got moderate improvement, four (26.66%) were improved, and two (13.33%) patients remained unchanged.
Apabahuka是一种通常影响肩关节（Amsa sandhi）的疾病。它由风邪（Vata dosha）引起。尽管在“因五大元素而生的风邪疾病”（nanatmaja Vata vyadhi）中未提及Apabahuka一词，但妙闻阿阇梨（Acharya Sushruta）等人将Apabahuka视为一种风邪引起的疾病（Vataja vikara）。肩部消瘦（Amsa shosha）可被视为该病的初期阶段，此时肩关节处的滑囊黏液（sleshaka kapha）出现流失或干涸。在本研究中，对15名患者连续7天给予掺有轻质芝麻油（Laghumasa Taila）的鼻腔滴注疗法（Marsha nasya），并得到了以下结果。治疗后，在Bahupraspandita hara方面有53.33%的缓解，在Shoola方面有26.66%的缓解，在Stambha方面有30.00%的缓解，在Atopa方面有60.00%的缓解，在肌肉消瘦方面有37.50%的缓解。仅就治疗的总体效果而言，1名患者（6.60%）有显著改善，8名患者（53.33%）有中度改善，4名患者（26.66%）有所改善，2名患者（13.33%）无变化。
