Brief Summary
|
Background: Migraine is a neurological disorder characterized under ICHD-3 by recurrent unilateral headaches of moderate–severe intensity with nausea, vomiting, photophobia, or phonophobia, often triggered by psychological or physiological stress. Conventional prophylactic medications frequently show limited adherence, and medication overuse is common. In Ayurveda, the condition correlates with Ardhavabhedaka, a Shiroroga associated with Tridoshic imbalance and inflammatory involvement of Pitta–Rakta. Ayurvedic management focuses on doshic correction through classical therapies and internal formulations. MIG-T is a proprietary Ayurvedic polyherbal formulation developed by Vaidyaratnam, designed to support neurological stability and modulate inflammatory and stress-associated pathways. Preclinical assessments demonstrate safety compliance and suggest possible neuroprotective and anti-inflammatoryPurpose of the Study: This pilot clinical study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of MIG-T, a proprietary Ayurvedic formulation, in individuals with episodic migraine. MIG-T will be administered at a dose of 650 mg (two tablets) twice daily after food for 90 days to 20 eligible subjects. Outcomes will include improvement in MIDAS, HIT, PSIQ, VAS, monthly migraine days, migraine severity, rescue medication use, and quality of life assessed through MSQ scoring. Safety assessments and relevant laboratory investigations will be conducted throughout the study period to ensure tolerability and therapeutic safety. |
