Aam assessment instrument for disease activity in Aamavata: Scope and challenges.
Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine 2023 December 6
Development and validation of instruments based on concepts and clinical features described in Ayurveda is a constructive step towards translational research in Ayurveda. The clinical decisions in traditional medical practices often depend on clinical features. Such attempts from Ayurveda experts also contribute to strengthen an endeavour of integrative medicine. A recently published article in J-AIM on development and validation of Aam Assessment Instrument (AAI) to assess the disease activity in amavata is a landmark study. This study is undertaken in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a prototype of inflammatory arthritis. We suggest that the specificity and reliability of AAI in RA and amavata would increase if complemented with joint count as described in Ayurveda texts. These joint counts can be further sub-classified for different types of inflammatory arthritides. Similarly, this AAI can also be validated and used for constitutional features in other ama-dominant non-rheumatic systemic diseases. This may need development of more comprehensive ama-specific features. We also need to consider the limitations of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) during further development and validation of AAI. Collective, multicentric, organized efforts by Ayurveda clinicians will lead to the development of reliable, sensitive, specific, and reproducible instruments for clinical assessments in various diseases.
