Therapeutic Efficacy of Ayurvedic Modalities Including Nasya Therapy in the Management of Migraine: A Case Report
Abstract: Conventional pharmacological and biological treatments are not sufficient against migraines. However, recently, Ayurveda and other alternative systems of medicine have gained attention as alternative therapeutic approaches. This single-case study evaluates the efficacy of an Ayurvedic therapeutic combination of Yograj guggulu, Shirshooladi vajra rasa, Godanti bhasma, and Pathyadi Kwatha along with Yasthimadhu Nasya. The oral treatment was administered for six weeks and Nasya therapy for one week and resulted in significant clinical improvement. A distinguished reduction was observed in headache intensity as well as migraine related symptoms as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS). This study highlights the significant efficacy of combining Pathyadi kwatha with Yograj guggulu, Shirshooladi vajra rasa, and Godanti bhasma along with Nasya therapy may be beneficial in the management of migraine, offering a therapeutic option for the affected people.
