In Siddha text Yugi Vaithya Chinthamani, it was mentioned as pain in the shoulder and upper limb, pricking pain in the cheek and jaw region, and inability in flexion and extension [2].Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by pain, stiffness, and limited function of the glenohumeral joint [3], which adversely affects the entire upper extremity. Patients typically describe onset of shoulder pain followed by a loss of motion [4], and the most common limitations in range of motion are flexion, abduction, and external rotation. Approximately 70% of frozen shoulder patients were women [5]; however, males with frozen shoulder were at greater risk for longer recovery and greater disability [3,5]. <strong>The aim</strong> of the present study was to evaluate the effect of <span style="color: black;">Ottradam </span>on kumbavatham management. The result of the present study may help in the betterment of disease management. <strong><span style="color: black;">Methods: </span></strong><span style="color: black;">Case study; A 58 years married male from Jaffna presented with pain and restricted abduction, adduction, external rotation and flexion of right shoulder both in active and passive movements for 2 months. He was diagnosed to be adhesive capsulitis which is equated to Kumbavatham. He was treated with Siddha external therapeutic procedure, Ottradam with amanakku ilai. After the treatment period of 15 days, the patient was followed for 6 months. The effect of external therapy on kumbavatham was assessed in accordance with shoulder pain and disability index. <strong>Result and Conclusion: </strong>The result of the current study concludes that the varmam therapy might be useful in the management of kumbavatham diseases and thus improves the quality of life of the patients. There were no adverse reactions/events observed during the course of treatment. The combination therapy has provided the reduction in pain and restricted movements which was measured using goniometer and SPADI index.</span></span></p>
