Abstract

Ardhavabhedaka (migraine) described under Shiroroga (diseases of head) occurs due to vitiation of Tridosha. It is probably related to migraine, which is a significant health issue among people of the age group 20-50 years. A migraine is a headache that often affects one side of the head and can be extremely painful, throbbing, or pulsating. It frequently occurs with high sensitivity to light, sound, nausea, and vomiting. Migraine affects an estimated more than 10% of people worldwide and is about three times more common in women than in men. Considering the suffering brought on by both chronic and acute migraine attacks, this study was carried out since conventional medicine only treats symptomatically and is unable to provide specific management. In this study, Yastimadhu taila nasya (nasal drops) was done for seven days in 9 patients between the age group 20 to 50 years. A significant improvement was seen on the 8th day and was maintained after a month, assessed by grading and scoring methods.
