Intervention  Local application of Arq-e-Ajeeb and Nutool-e-Raas with Roghan-e-Gul and Roghan-e-Kaddu  1. From day 1 Nutool will be started with Roghan-e-Gul and Roghan-e-Kaddu, 500 ml(250 ml each) of roghan will be poured slowly and steadily from a height of arm length on the affected part of the cranium twice a week for one month, then the protocol of intervention of nutool for next one month once a week (total 12 sittings) 2. Patients will be provided Arq-e-Ajeeb for local application whenever attack of migraine occurs and patient has to fill daily dairy after every episode. 3. The treatment will be stopped with the 12th sitting (60th day of treatment) of Nutool therapy. The patients will be followed up thereafter for 15 days as per the planned follow-up visits to assess the efficacy of the treatment. 4. After completion of the trial, comparisons will be made between pre and post-treatment values of assessment scales using appropriate inferential statistical tests to evaluate the efficacy of Nutool-e- Raas and Arq-e-Ajeeb.

Brief Summary   Shaqiqa (Migraine), the second most common cause of headache, and the most common headache-related, and indeed neurologic, cause of disability in the world. It is a recurrent attacks of headache, varied in intensity, frequency and duration; commonly unilateral in onset, and usually associated with anorexia and sometimes with nausea and vomiting.  It has two major clinical subtypes: 1. Migraine without aura (Common Migraine) 2. Migraine with aura (Classical Migraine) Migraine without aura (Common Migraine) which occurs in about 80% to 85% of patients and migraine with aura (Classical Migraine) which occurs in about 15%to 20% of patients. The attack in classical migraine is consist of four phases : aura phase(neurological dysfunction), prodromal phase, the headache phase and a post-dromal phase. Common migraine consists of three phases: prodromal phase, headache phase and post-dromal phase. Other less common types include Hemiplegic migraine, Retinal migraine, Abdominal migraine, probable migraine, basilar migraine, chronic migraine etc.  Migraine is mainly a familial disorder, and it is estimated that 5% of total population suffer from migraine. The risk factor (triggers) include glare, bright light, sound, hunger, mental stress, physical exertion, hormonal fluctuations, lack of or excess sleep, alcohol etc. Usually attacks of migraine commence in late childhood, adolescence and early twenties, more common in females between 25 to 40 years of age. Migraine is a second most common cause of headache disorder which affects the near about 12% of general population, more prevalence in women about 15% and 6% of men. It has high influence on our society due to its disabling nature,and it reduces quality of life and increases defection in work. World Health Organization (WHO) listed migraine as the 19th disability cause worldwide, and it is responsible for 1.4% of life lost due to disability in all years. According to American Headache Society Evidence in US, 1.2 million peoples visit to emergency department due to migraine.Thus, it is clear that migraine is one of leading cause of disability in adults and has high disease burden. Thus effective treatment of migraine is needed with fewer side effects. Despite having effective treatment for acute migraine attacks (such as Triptans) . The response rate varies from 44-70%. Some patients do not get relief by two hours after taking oral migraine medications, and recurrence of headache within 24 hours of initial dosing is common. In addition these medicines have adverse effects such as NSAIDs cause dyspepsia and gastrointestinal irritation; Ergotamine may cause nausea. Triptans which are considered as important medicine for acute migraine treatment are generally not effective in migraine with aura unless given after the aura is completed and the headache initiated, recurrence of headache within usual time of course of an attack occurs in most of the patients.  The prophylactic agents available have limited efficacy and may cause adverse effects and not compatible for long term use.  Unani Physicians have successfully treated migraine (which is called Shaqiqa in Unani) since ancient time without any significant side effects on the basis of principles of Tanqia Mawad-e- Raddia and Taqwiat-e-Dimagh achieved by using Munzij wa Mushil and Nutool, Sa’oot wa Zimad. There are multiple single and compound drugs used for the management of shaqiqa i.e., Ustukhuddus, kishneez, banafsha, zafran, sapistan, khatmi, ayarij feeqra, itrifal etc while Ilaj Bit tadbeer is a method of treatment in which some external methods and measures are used to cure the disease without the help of internal medicine. Keeping this in view, a study planned to evaluate the efficacy of Ilaj-bittadbeer in management of migraine using Nutool-e-Raas and local application of some Unani formulation of drugs. The goal of managing migraine is to reduce migraine frequency, severity and disability and to improve the quality of life. Therefore we have planned to conduct a clinical study entitled as “A Clinical Study to evaluate the efficacy of Arq-e-Ajeeb and Nutool-e-Raas with Roghan-e-Gul and Roghan-e-Kaddu in the managementof Shaqiqa (Migraine without aura).
