For diagnosis, rog rogi pariksha are mentioned in classical ayurvedic texts i.e. trividha pariksha, ashtavidha pariksha, dashavidha pariksha etc. From this Ashtavidha pariksha is the most used. In Ashtavidha pariksha there are eight factors which are taken in consideration while examining the patient. Concept of nadi pariksha is described under the rogi pariksha i.e ashtavidha pariksha. Concept of nadi pariksha is given by many acharyas like bhavprakash, sharangdhar, yogratnakar, nadi pariksha by ravan Samhita, nadi vigyan by kanad.
