Hi~
Originally, for this project, I wanted to compare all of the diseases in the gastrointestinal tract. However, when I arrived at the center, I narrowed it down to specifically ulcers. My main research question then became:
Are Ayurvedic treatments more effective than proton pump inhibitors for treating ulcers and acidity related problems in the gastrointestinal tract?
For my research, I interviewed patients in the outpatient department. Many of them were there for follow-up appointments, which helped me gather even more data for my research. I studied 30 case histories, 15 male and 15 females. To give you an idea of the age distribution, here is a graph below.
The reason that there are not 30 dots on the graph is because some of the patients shared the same age.
I then presented them with a questionnaire regarding their health. I would ask them how long they've had ulcers or acidity, what medication they have taken, if natural treatments have made an effect etc.
Here is a sample patient record.
After collecting these responses from 30 patients, I then made a pie chart of how many patients said that Ayurveda has positively impacted their ailment.
Here are the results below.
This means that out of the 30 patients I looked at, only 3 responded with a "no" or a "no change" answer.
I will analyze the implications of this data in the next post.
Until next time,
Aashi
