<p style='text-align:justify;'>}}Hemiplegia (paralysis or hemiparesis) is known as ‘pakshaghata’ or ‘pakshavadha’ in ([[Ayurveda]]). It is classified under 80 diseases due to the vitiation of ([[vata dosha]]) (nanatmaja vata vyadhi). There is complete or partial paralysis of the arm, leg, and trunk on one side of the body. The most typical cause of hemiplegia is cerebrovascular stroke. A stroke affecting the corticospinal tract results in hemiplegia. Other causes are trauma, diabetes, infections affecting the nervous system, neoplasms, demyelination disorders, congenital disorders, multiple sclerosis, parasomnia etc. As per Ayurveda pathophysiology, the vitiated vata dosha afflicts half of the body by causing desiccation of nerves or blood vessels (sira) and muscles or tendons (snayu). It finally results in the signs and symptoms of pakshaghata. [Cha.Sa. ([[Chikitsa Sthana]]) 53-55] Rehabilitation is the primary treatment of hemiplegia to regain maximum function and quality of life. It includes both physical and occupational therapy. Ayurvedic management is vatahara (pacification of ([[vata dosha]])) in nature. It can improve motor functions by vatanulomana (proper elimination of flatus, faeces, urine etc., by proper functioning of vāyu and balya (which provides strength) forms of medications.

The aggravated vata is lodged in vacant spaces or afflicted channels (sroto vaigunya). Due to obstruction in its path or impaired movement, vata dosha affects the indriya (sensory and motor organs) and leads to affliction of either side of the body. It also causes the desiccation of siras (nerves) and snayus (tendons), producing contractions of legs and hands on either side. [Cha.Sa. Chikitsa Sthana 28/43-45]

Mental imagery and electrical stimulation for the movement of muscles are also combined with the above. Ayurvedic management can be done at this stage.
