Comparative study on the changes in HBA1c levels in pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals treated with Siddha formulation – A non randomized open clinical study Background and justification: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic progressive metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia mainly due to absolute (Type 1 DM) or relative (Type 2 DM) deficiency of insulin hormone. (1) Eventhough the Conventional modern therapy provides a number of treatment modalities for type 2 diabetes like a lifelong commitment to blood sugar monitoring healthy eating regular exercise, possible diabetes medication or insulin therapy, the burden of the disease is steadily progressing. The World Health Organization (WHO) has projected that the prevalence of diabetes is increasing in epidemic proportions especially in developing countries. India has the highest number of people with Diabetes in the World . Every 8 seconds a person dies of diabetes at the same 8 seconds two persons become diabetics (2). As per the 2011 ICMR studies showed that there are 62.4 million people live with diabetes in India, and 77.2 million people are on the threshold, with pre-diabetes. Indian Council of Medical Research – India Diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB) Study have provided data from three States and one Union Territory, representing nearly 18.1 per cent of the nation's population was diabetic.(3) Diebetes is a comparable condition with Madhumegam or neerizhivu In Siddha literatures. A number of siddha formulations and single drugs are widely used to treat diabetes . Mostly they are all not well documented and also scientific data is lacking. With this current scenario this study is planned to evaluate the efficacy of a Siddha formulation Avirai Kudineer with herbal ingredients mentioned in the olden literature Theran Kudineer -100 and also in Gunapadam mooligai vaguppu. Even though this combination is popularly used in the clinical practice, we are not able to find out any scientific evaluation and published data about this formulation. The HbA1c has become the most commonly used measure of chronic glycaemia in epidemiological studies,clinical trials and the management of diabetes since its introduction more than 25 years ago (4) Through this study it planned to evaluate the efficacy of Avirai Kudineer a in pre diabetic and diabetic individuals with respect to the changes in glycosilated haemoglobin. And also to compare the efficacy of the drug in pre- diabetic and diabetic groups. Objectives : Primary Objectives: Changes from baseline in glycosylated hemoglobin Secondary objectives Estimate the Blood glucose levels . Change from baseline in other Clinical Laboratory Tests Change from baseline in Body Weight Percentage of treatment responders defined as a patient with 0.6% decrease in HbA1c from baseline visit to final visit or accomplishment of a HbA1c value at or below 6.5 (4) Changes in symptom scores Adherence to drug treatment Adverse event if any. Methods: Study design: Non-randomized open clinical study. Sampling Method: Purposive sampling Sample size calculation: Proportion of efficacy is assumed as 50% and the difference is assumed as 30%. With this assumption the sample size is calculated. P1Q1 + p 2 q2 ___________________ ( Z& + Z B )2 d2 With the 20% extra subjects for dropouts, the desired sample size for this study is 50 subjects in each group will be included for this study. Study area and Study population Patients who are attending the OPD of National Institute of Siddha, Chennai -47 are included. Study Period: Two years from getting the ethical clearance. Operational definition: Diabetes: It is defined as the subjects with the HbA1c 6.5% or higher estimation.

Medical University , Chennai & NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF SIDDHA, CHENNAI – 47 AYOTHIDASA PANDITHAR HOSPITAL Comparative study on the changes in HBA1c levels in pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals treated with Siddha formulation – A non randomized open clinical study. Information to patient . You are asked to take part in “ Comparative study on the changes in HBA1c levels in pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals treated with Siddha formulation – A non randomized open clinical study.” . It is important to know about the study, how the study is being done and how your information will be used and the possible benefits, risks and discomforts. Hence please read the following information. What is the background and the purpose of the study? The stones that are formed in the urinary passage and the kidney are called urolithiasis. Food habits, drinking water and personal activities are the major reasons for this problem. Recent data shows 5-15% of people are affected by this problem world-wide and there is 50% chance of relapse of stone disease is also possible. The occurrence is increasing day by day especially in tropical countries like India. The kidney stones are mainly treated by surgical removal. Medical treatment part is not that much satisfactory in treating the stone disease. In Siddha literatures many herbal and herbo-mineral preparations are available for not only to treat the stones but also to prevent from relapse with oral medication. The purpose of the study is to provide an effective medical cure through Siddha formulations. What are the clinical symptoms? Acute colicky flank pain that may radiate to lower abdomen or groin often associated with nausea and vomiting. Urinary symptoms like burning urination, frequency and urgency or sometimes urinary obstruction and passing of small sand like material or a small stone along with urine. What are the complications that may occur if untreated ? If untreated the stone size will increase day by day and sometimes when it descends it will obstruct the urinary passage and may require immediate surgery. Renal failure may occur in certain cases. What are the study drugs? Sindhuvallathy mezhugu capsule -500 mg twice daily and Kalladaippu kudineer -130 ml two times a day for 45 days. These Siddha medicines that will be used are herbal and herbo-mineral preparation that are in use for centuries. Most of them are already proved for its effect on kidney stones. They are found naturally and devoid of major side effects. You will be given the option to tae part in this interventional study after your consent if you don’t want to participate, you can stop the treatment at any point of time. Likewise, the doctor conducting the study may decide that continuing with study medication is no longer in your best interest and in that case you will be advised to stop Form –E (page 2 of 3) taking the study medicines. Even if your study medications is stopped your health progress will be followed for the remaining study period. What will happen to me if I take part? You will be interrogated via structural questionnaires to collect information on you personal data, health information, physical activity level, nutritional data and psychological pattern, Your constitutional assessment and your naadi, neerkuri tests will be done on first day and also in every follow up. A series of blood tests urinary tests, X-ray KUB and ultrasound will be done. You will be asked to collect 24 hours urine during the follow-up visits. X-ray and/or ultrasound will be done on 1st and 45th days or as of when required. The results of the tests will then be explained to you. What are the possible benefits of taking part? It is hoped that the treatment you receive will help to reduce the size of the stone, expel it easily and prevent from further formations. This helps to avoid serious renal problems. However this cannot be guaranteed. The information we get from this study may help us in the future to improve the treatment of subjects with kidney stones, promote the use of Siddha medicine as a cost effective substitute to the more expenditure surgical treatment. This is a chance to know about the health of the renal system with these tests whether you have risk factors like diabetes and any other underlying disease.
