The Role of Ayurveda in Chronic Disease Management: A Review of Clinical Evidence.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Chronic non-communicable diseases account for the majority of global mortality and contribute substantially to long-term disability and healthcare expenditure worldwide, necessitating sustained, multidimensional management strategies beyond symptomatic control. Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine based on holistic and individualized care, has gained increasing attention as a complementary approach for chronic disease management. This review synthesizes clinical evidence published between 2015 and 2025 to evaluate the role of Ayurvedic interventions across major chronic disease categories, including metabolic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological disorders. A comprehensive literature search of major electronic databases identified randomized controlled trials, controlled clinical studies, and observational research assessing therapeutic outcomes, safety, and methodological quality. The reviewed studies demonstrate consistent trends toward improvement in symptom severity, functional outcomes, biochemical and inflammatory markers, and patient-reported quality of life, particularly when Ayurvedic therapies are used alongside conventional medical care. Interventions based on Ayurvedic principles, such as metabolic regulation, lifestyle modification, Panchakarma (bio-purification procedures), and Rasayana (rejuvenative therapy), appear to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and adaptogenic effects relevant to chronic disease pathophysiology. The evidence base is constrained by methodological heterogeneity, small sample sizes, variable intervention protocols, and limited long-term safety data. While current findings support the integrative potential of Ayurveda in chronic disease management, further rigorously designed, large-scale clinical trials with standardized methodologies are required to strengthen evidence and support its rational incorporation into contemporary healthcare systems.
