Abstract

One of the most frequent complaints that people bring to the outpatient department (OPD) and occasionally the emergency room of a hospital is headache. One of the main symptoms of Ardhavbhedaka, a kind of Shiroroga, is unilateral headache of variable intensity. Several Acharyas have said it among the Shirorogas., There is excruciating pain in half of the skull namely Manya, Shankha, Akshi, Karna, Bhru and Lalaata. The type of discomfort is comparable to that caused by sharp items such as Arani and Shastra. Pain is a subjective experience that varies from person to person. Ardhavbhedaka can cause problems like blindness and hearing loss if it is improperly managed or left untreated (Nayana and Sravana vinasha). Based on the clinical signs and symptoms, this illness can be linked to migraine, a specific kind of headache. A type of primary headache known as a migraine is characterized by frequent episodes of pulsating headaches, usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia, either with or without an aura..For those in the 30 to 50 year-old age group, migraine is a serious health concern. With an estimated global frequency of 14.7%, migraine is the third most frequent medical illness worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. In a 3:1 ratio, females are typically more impacted than males.
