It is a type of Headache characterized by moderate to severe throbbing pain, generally associated with nausea, photophobia and phonophobia. Its cardinal feature is 'half sided headache' which is also explained by commentator Chakrapani as Ardha Mastaka Vedana. According to International headache society, Migraine constitutes 16% of the primary headache and affects about 10-20% of the general population. As per Acharya Sushruta Ardhavabhedaka occur due to vitiation of Tridosha. While Acharya Charaka had mentioned that vitiated Vata/Vata - Kapha are involved in manifestation of the disease, while Acharya Vagbhatta believed it occurs due to vitiated Vata. Till now there is no effective management present in modern science as they provides the symptomatic treatment. But Ayurveda acts on roots of the disease, it does Samprapti Vighatan and cures the disease. Nasya Karma (Errhine Therapy) is considered as the best therapeutic intervention in Shirogata Roga by Acharya Charaka. In present pilot study, an attempt is made to treat the patient of Ardhavabhedaka with Pradhmana Nasya along with Shirolepa.
