Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
A link between the outcome of nasal cytology and Pratishyay may be predicted to appear as either positive or no correlation, yet this remains uncertain as previous limited in this approach. Broaden our understanding of the immune action of inflammatory cells and the presence or absence of pathogenic cells in doshik Pratishyaya and serve as a reference point or perhaps a yardstick for clinical treatment and research purposes Timepoint: 4

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Broaden our understanding of the immune action of inflammatory cells and the presence or absence of pathogenic cells in doshik Pratishyaya and serve as a reference point or perhaps a yardstick for clinical treatment and research purposes . Results of the study about nasal cytology will help lay a knowledge base for their application in statistical methods in future research on Pratishaya as an essential numerical objective criteria of assessment , especially useful in clinical trials Timepoint: 4
