In next two sittings (done on 30^th Nov and 4^th Dec 2017) there was 65% pain relief. Pain relief lasted till last follow up on 9^th Jan 2018. WOMAC index LK3.1on initial assessment before treatment was 88 which came down to 40 after treatment. Conclusion:-Viddha has therapeutic value in the treatment of Knee OA.
