Abstract

Despite the fact that, this therapy is in the practice of Unani physician and a large number of patients have been treated successfully; this regimen still requires scientific validation to generalize their popularity and acceptability. Present paper is the case series of diagnosed migraine patients to assess the effect of Nutool therapy on headache intensity, MIDAS scale and Pain intensity. The present study entitled “Case Series to evaluate role of Nutool Therapy on Headache frequency (from the daily headache diary),MIDAS (migraine disability assessment score) headache intensity by VAS in diagnosed cases of Shaqiqa (Migraine) in patients attending HAHU and SUMER ,Jamia Hamdard Delhi was conducted in the Department of Tahaffuzi-wa-samaji Tib, SUMER, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi during the period of September 2020 to Nov 2020 in Psychiatric OPD of HAHC Hospital, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi on diagnosed Patients of Migraine as per ICHD3rd (International classification of headache disorders) Criteria.
