Abstract

Tibetans in the refugee communities in Northern India are exposed to both traditional Tibetan and Western medicine. For Tibetans suffering from arthritis (or trung-bo), the Tibetan treatment was compared with the Western treatment in an open randomized controlled trial. On a significance level of 0.0005, this trial demonstrated that for these Tibetans, their indigenous treatment worked better than the Western treatment for improved limb mobility.
