A clinical study on the role of Brihat Dasamoola Taila Nasya and Laghusuta sekhara Rasa in the management of Ardhavabhedaka w.s.r to Migraine

Abstract
Migraine is one of the common causes of recurrent headache. According to HIS, migraine constitutes 16% of the primary headache and affects 10-20% of the genaral population. The diagniosis is mainly based on clinical history. Moreover unilateral headache with paroxysmal nature is the only symptom mentioned for the disease ardhavabhedaka by ancient scientists. Ardhavabhedaka has been explained as tridoshaja by acharya Susruta, Vata Kaphaja by Charaka and Vataja by Vagbhatta. But the different quality of pain such as Toda, Bheda, etc. describes the Vishama nature of vata dosha. A study in 2002 that analysed over 800,000 cases of migraine reported that most migraines are not treated according to any expert reccomendations or accepted evidence. Our Acharyas have mentioned Nasya therapy as master key for all urdhvajatrugata vikaras. Considering all such things the present study was selected, in which total 44 patients were registered and were randomly divided into 2 groups. In group A, Laghu sutashekara rasa & group B, Brihat dasamoola taila nasya with Laghu sutashekara rasa was given for 6 weeks. In group A & B, maximum number of patients i.e.,35% & 52.94% respectively showed marked improvement.
