Diagnosis Of Oromandibular Dystonia (OMD)Treatment In Ayurveda

Abstract

Dystonia refers to a movement disorder that leads to involuntary movements of muscles. It can affect one, two, or several body regions (muscles) simultaneously. The type of dystonia is described based on the region of muscles that are affected. The type of dystonia that affects the oral cavity (jaw, mouth, teeth, face) is known as Oromandibular Dystonia. Though Oromandibular Dystonia is a rare disorder, its prevalence is reported to be high. Through this article, you will get to know the causes, symptoms, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options in modernity. Also, you will get to know how you can treat Oromandibular Dystonia with Ayurvedic drugs.

Oromandibular Dystonia (OMD)

Introduction

Oromandibular Dystonia is a neurological disorder that affects the jaw bones, mouth, and face muscles because of involuntary muscle contractions. This causes repetitive and twisting movements of the jaw. The muscle spasm can range in severity that may be painful. As this is a neurological disorder, any defect in brain nerves can cause these involuntary movements. Different people are affected in different ways by dystonia. Common facial areas seen doing abnormal involuntary movements in Oromandibular Dystonia are-  Jaw, and tongue, and can also extend to the neck and eyes. Untreated Oromandibular Dystonia can cause certain complications including-

  • Vision problem
  • Physical disabilities
  • Depression
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Social withdrawal
  • Early detection and management are recommended to overcome these complications.

Ayurvedic Aspect

Oromandibular Dystonia is a neuromuscular disorder that is described to be due to the excessive accumulation of Vata Dosha in the body of the person. Vata is the main causative factor for such neurological, muscular, involuntary movement, and abnormal functioning of the body parts. The Vata accumulates due to the continuous practice of imbalanced and improper diet and lifestyle habits.

Accumulation of Vata in the body can cause several common disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, but its excessive accumulation in the body turns into hazardous effects that can cause serious complications and disorders like hemiplegia, paraplegia, neuralgia, quadriplegia paksha ghat (paralysis of the whole body). Early diagnosis and control over excessive Vata are mandatory to arrest the progression of Vata dosha that can lead to severe disorders. Vataj dosha impacts the brain nerves and interferes with their normal functioning. It alters the brain signals and causes abnormalities among body parts.

Proper nourishment of nerves and balancing Vata dosha is important to step in the treatment of such neurological disorders, which is possible with natural herbs used by the ancient system of medicine that is Ayurveda.

Causes
