ABSTRACT
The world is full of surprises and some surprises are good, but on the other hand some can be unpleasant. The most obvious example of unpleasant surprises are the diseases. Whenever our body responds to some unusual process going on inside and surprisingly out of nowhere you get diagnosed with a condition which you never heard about then that's quite an unpleasant moment. Some people have the mental strength to cope up with all of this but some may not have that stability. In Second case people start getting anxious and stress a lot that results in worsening the situation. This article is also about one such unpleasant condition known as Issac's syndrome. This condition is also known as Neuromyotonia. The condition is very well managed with the help of Ayurvedic formulation which is also explained in this article.
INTRODUCTION
Isaacs syndrome, as mentioned before, is also called neuromyotonia. It is a continuous muscle fibre activity syndrome in which there is a continuous twitching and contraction of muscles. The muscle stiffness due to recurrent twitching and contractions is progressive and results in diminishing of reflexes. The outlook of this condition can vary. The outlook generally depends on the severity of the disorder, the underlying cause, effectiveness of treatment and associated medical condition. But symptoms of isaacs syndrome or neuromyotonia generally worsen with time and significantly result in the restriction of movement. This restriction of movement results in the interference with daily activities. Modern science explains that this condition is not having any cure but many patients have successfully found ways to manage the symptoms in this condition.
That is all modern tells about Isaacs syndrome or neuromyotonia. But Ayurveda has a little different approach towards this condition. Ayurveda suggests that Isaacs syndrome or neuromyotonia is the result of excess vata dosha in the body. Vata dosha, which is responsible for any movement in the body whether voluntary and involuntary, when it gets aggravated gives very drastic effects or symptoms.
KEY POINTS FOR ISAACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
- Isaacs syndrome is also called as Neuromyotonia
- It is a autoimmune peripheral nerve disorder
- The hyperexcitability of the muscles happens in this situation which is of recurrent nature
- The condition involves continues twitching and contraction of muscles
- This results in restriction of movement & thus causes hindrance in daily activities
- Delayed muscle relation happens even during sleep. This continues even when the person is under general anaesthesia
- It has two types: Hereditary and Acquired
- Modern science has no cure
- Ayurveda suggests it is the result of vata dosha aggravation
- Vata dosha is known as the kinetic energy of the body
- With Ayurvedic formulation the condition can be well managed
CAUSES OF ISSACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
The condition is the result of an autoimmune process going on inside the body. This autoimmune process is targeting the peripheral nervous system. On the other hand, if there is absence of autoimmune process then the cause of Issacs syndrome or neuromyotonia is not known by modern science.
On the other hand, as mentioned before Ayurveda suggests that Issacs syndrome or neuromyotonia is the result of vata dosha aggravation in which ama production is simultaneously involved. Ama accumulation is the accumulation of endotoxins in the body that result in the blockage of channels hence causing blockage to the pathways of vata dosha or kinetic energy of the body.
SYMPTOMS OF ISSACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
- As mentioned in the key points, two main symptoms (twitching and contraction of muscles) of this condition are even present in sleep or under general anaesthesia. Most generally the muscles of arms and legs are affected but the other muscles of the body slowly get involved.
- The symptoms are as following:
- Ataxia which is the trouble coordinating movement
- There is a delay in the muscle relaxation
- Excessive sweating along with changes in the heart rate is also noticed
- Muscle cramps and muscle spasms are most commonly noticed. This results in weakness and progressive worsening of the situation.
- Myokymia, twitching and rippling or quivering of the muscles is also a very common symptom. This is generally explained in a horrifying way: Like having worms under your skin
- One can also suffer from trouble while breathing and speaking if the muscles of the chest region are affected
- Weight loss is also noticed
Now , as ayurveda suggests the involvement of vata dosha in this case. The twitching or loosing control even on the voluntary muscles as well as involuntary muscles depicts that vata dosha is aggravated in this case.
Vata aggravation has symptoms like samkocha which is contraction, sthambahna understood as rigidity, shosha is called as wasting pain, toda is piercing pain and vyatha which is aching pain. All these are the main symptoms in this case. So this justifies that here there is aggravation of vata dosha which can be associated with the accumulation of vata dosha. One typical symptom that correlates increased heart rate is mano vyaharsha (anxiety).
TYPES OF ISSACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
Inherited Issacs Syndrome Or Neuromyotonia
This is passed down in families.
Acquired Issacs Syndrome Or Neuromyotonia
This is an autoimmune type of Issacs syndrome or neuromyotonia.
DIAGNOSIS OF ISSACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
- The diagnosis procedure for this condition includes physical examination along with certain blood tests. Physical examination includes noticing the twitching of muscles especially on the face and hands.
- Nerve conduction studies are done as well to understand working of nerves and electromyograms are also done about the understanding of muscle working inside your body.
- CT scan (Computed tomography scan) along with MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging) is also done.
TREATMENT OF ISSACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
The treatment of Issacs syndrome or neuromyotonia includes the following:
- Generally a modern physician will prescribe you with a class of drugs called anticonvulsants. This gives relief in stiffness, muscle spasms and pain which is associated with isaacs syndrome.
- Plasma exchange can also provide short term relief for the individuals who have acquired Issacs syndrome or neuromyotonia.
AYURVEDIC ASPECT FOR ISSACS SYNDROME OR NEUROMYOTONIA
As mentioned before the condition is the result of aggravated vata dosha and aggravated vata dosha is having a very precise and peculiar management in the Ayurvedic science. The vata dosha is well managed by using various taila preparations in Ayurveda.
The taila or oil is used for external massaging and internal intake as well. Even medicated enema using these oils is also administered.
Using ghrita internally also helps in balancing the vata dosha in the body.
But when we discuss a diseased condition then sanskrit ghrit is the best to use.
Sanskarit ghrit like brahmi ghrit, ashwagnadha ghrit are having a very impressive impact in this condition.
Herbs like ashwagnadha, brahmi, jatamansi, tagar, madhuyashti, giloy give very good results in balancing vata dosha and thus improving the situation.
With the intake of herbal formulation taking care of food intake is equally important. A person suffering from Issacs syndrome or neuromyotonia must have:
- Hot soups and stews
- Cow’s ghee
- Various nuts as they are rich in oils
- Spices like turmeric (haridra), cinnamon (twak), ginger (adrak), rasona (garlic), cumin (jeera), fenugreek (methika) and others
- Oils like olive oils, mustard oils are to be used for cooking
- Avoid use of heavy pulses like kidney beans, black lentils, lobia, chickpeas
- Green leafy vegetables can be given to the patient and vegetables like eggplants, mustard leaves, radish are to be avoided.
In lifestyle also certain changes are to be done like exercising moderately on a regular basis. One can massage himself or herself with warm oil or mustard oil in a routine. One can also use certain vata pacifier medicated oils like dhanvantari oil, neelibhringadi oil etc for massaging.
Usually a pattern is followed like internal intake of oils or ghrita which is then followed by massaging with medicated oils. Then swedana is done which is general sudation. After this administration of medicated enema is done.
