Brief Summary  
Headache is the most common problem experienced by the individuals. Around 40% of
individuals worldwide are suffering from migraine. According to IHS (Indian Headache
Society),migraine constitutes 16% of the primary headache and affects about 10-20% of
general population (about 15% male and 6% female are the sufferers of the migraine). About
80% of patients have migraine without aura and 15-20% have migraine with aura.
It is more common in women than in men (3:1) and family history is present in more than 60%
of cases. Changing hormonal level also play a great role.
Hence, to find out such unique phenomenon of Ayurveda and to solve the problem of sufferers
of Migraine, Ardhavabhedaka (Migraine with and without aura) has been selected for the
present study. This study gives importance to break the samprapti of the disease.
In Ayurveda, the Acharyas have recognized the importance of medicines, especially of the
herbal medicines. Single drug treatment was the beginning point in the therapeutic regimen.
Total effects of all the ingredients in the formula rather than the action of individual drugs that
plays a vital role in therapeutics. There is no permanent treatment of migraine in modern
therapy. Treatment protocol is not fixed as no unique etiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis
criteria is known. Hence there is a need to develop safe and permanent treatment for Migraine.
Acharya Sushruta has shown Tridosha as the causative factor of Ardhavabhedaka, Acharya
Vagbhata and Charaka described Vata and Vata-Kapha. Pathyadi Kwath is mentioned in
Bhavaprakash for headache (Shiroroga). The decoction has ingredients having Ushana Virya and Vatashamak properties, which may be useful in management of Ardhavbhedaka.
In Ayurveda Nasya therapy has been considered as one of most promising
treatment for all the Urdhawajatrugata Vikaras. Nasya Karma involves administration of
herbal oil/drug/liquid into nostril which remove the blockages of the nasal pathways, relief
mental stress. These effects of Nasya gives significants relief in disease associated with nose
and head region such as Ardhavbhedaka (Migraine). Hence these drugs have been selected to
evaluate their efficacy in Ardhavbhedaka w.s.r. to Migraine.
