A wound infection is major cause of delayed wound healing. Although there is a huge range of wound care available from Western medicine, their own side effects and increased resistance towards micro-organism leave a substantial space for herbal productwhich can cope-up with the sign and symptom of wound infection as well as accelerate the wound healing. In this clinical study, Group A_Panchavalkal ointment was compared with Group B_Framycetin Sulfate cream, topically, in management of Dushta Vrana (infected wound). Assessment of pain was done by numerical rating scale. However, assessment of objective parameter such as size, depth, edges, undermining, necrotic tissue type, necrotic tissue amount, exudate type, exudate amount, skin color surrounding wound, peripheral tissue edema, peripheral tissue induration, granulation tissue, epithelialization evaluated by Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool. The wound status continuum between the two groups after treatment was compared. In Group A, 30.0% woundachieved tissue health, 36.7% healed, 26.7 regenerated and 6.7% improved. In Group B only 13.3% woundachieved tissue health, 30.0% healed, 43.3% regenerated and 13.3% improved. The clinical analysis of objective parameters showed that both the medicines are effective to control wound infection, but it was observed that control in sign and symptom of wound infection was rapid in Group A and led to wound healing with less time duration in comparison to Group B. The wound assessment revealed that both the groups were markedly efficacious in treating infected wound ; moreover, the outcome was comparatively better in Group A. Hence, it is proved that Panchvalkal ointment was more effective than Framycetin Sulfate Cream in the management of infected wound w.s.r. to Dushta Vrana.
