Background: Despite advancements in the treatment of psychosis, many patients continue to experience persistent symptoms and relapses during antipsychotic treatment, particularly when they fail to adhere to prescribed medications. Ayurveda explains psychotic disorders as “Unmada” and describes various treatment protocols. Although these therapies and methods have been in practice for several years, systematic evidence has not been generated for the same. Thus, in the current review an attempt has been made to illustrate currently available clinical trials on Ayurveda management of psychosis. Methods: We identified 23 studies by literature search in PubMed Central, Cochrane Library and AYUSH Research portal. Out of these, 21 were retrieved after systematic deduplication. After excluding nine studies, 12 studies were included for review. Results: Total of 12 articles comprising 10 clinical trials and 2 case reports were reviewed. Most of the studies demonstrated significant improvement in psychopathology assessed through various symptom rating scales. Discussion: The role of Ayurveda, in the treatment of psychosis is least explored. Currently available studies on the effect of Ayurveda treatment on psychosis are very less in number to draw a valuable conclusion. Hence there is a large scope for conducting neurobiologically informed clinical research in the management of psychotic disorders using Ayurvedic approaches. |
