Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Migraine (Ardhavbhedaka) is now recognized as a chronic illness, the second most common cause of headache, not simply as a headache. With advent of modern drugs, the pattern of disease has grossly changed, where the drugs only assuage the symptoms temporarily and the underlying pathology goes on progressively to worsen the condition. Therefore, the Ayurvedic therapeutics especially Nasya karma (Errhine therapy) and Shirodhara of Panchakarma (Five major bio-purificatory therapies) therapy has attracted considerable glamour for providing safe and effective remedies in the treatment of migraine. The study had been conducted on 33 patients of Migraine which were randomly divided in to three groups and were given treatment for 21 days and follow-up after 1 month. Out of the three groups, 11 patients were administered Kumkumadi ghrita Nasya 6 drops in each nostril, 12 patients of second group were administered Dashmool shrita Ksheera Shirodhara, and 10 patients of third group were administered Tab. Propranolol 40 mg bd and diclofenac 50 mg bd. During present trial it was observed that there was highly significant improvement in clinical manifestations of migraine after the therapy with Nasya Karma. So it is concluded that Nasya karma is completely or partially relieves the symptoms in Migraine.
