The treatment of traditional system will be more valid if the disease is diagnosed by its own perspective. So the study was aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the Siddha diagnostic methodology for madhu piramium (a condition of chronic glycosuria in diabetes mellitus with urogenital infection). Clinical study was conducted on persons having the disease madhu piramium by applying Siddha system of diagnosis by fixing inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following procedures namely Wrist circummetric sign, shape of oil drop on urine and eight fold examination namely Pulse, Tongue, Complexion, Voice, Eye, Body examination, Stool and Urine were used for the study. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used for statistical analysis. Most of the patients had the wrist circumference of 9 ½ Finger units. Significant number of patient`s urine, the drop of oil took the form of sieve. Eight fold examinations revealed significant number of patients had hard pulse appraisal and pulse play was of pitha vatham than healthy volunteers. Tongue examination revealed tastelessness and decreased salivation. Increase in body temperature and pain on palpation were observed in significant number of patients. Patient`s urine samples were cloudy foul smelling, frothy, higher in density, polyuria and with deposits. So it can be concluded that the following Siddha procedures in combination namely Wrist circummetric sign, shape of oil drop on urine and eight fold examinations differentiates the patients of madhu piramium from the healthy volunteers. |
