Stereospermum suaveolens (commonly known as "Patala" in Ayurveda) has a long history of use in traditional Indian medicine for a variety of ailments, including chest pain. In Ayurvedic texts, chest pain is often associated with conditions like "Hridroga" (heart disease), and Stereospermum is sometimes included in polyherbal formulations such as Dashamoola, which is used for respiratory and cardiac complaints. The rationale behind its use is based on traditional concepts of balancing bodily humors and alleviating pain or inflammation, rather than evidence from modern biomedical research.

A limited number of laboratory studies have investigated the pharmacological properties of Stereospermum suaveolens, suggesting possible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, robust clinical trials specifically validating its efficacy for chest pain in humans are lacking. There is no substantial scientific evidence directly supporting its use for chest pain, especially of cardiac origin. Thus, its use for this purpose remains justified primarily by traditional practice rather than scientific validation.

In summary, while Stereospermum suaveolens has traditional use for chest pain in Ayurveda, the quality and quantity of scientific evidence supporting this application are minimal, meriting a low evidence rating.
