Abstract

Hemiplegic migraine, known as Ardhavbhedaka in Ayurveda, presents a unique challenge in its management due to its complex etiopathogenesis involving both Vata and Pitta Doshas along with Kapha Dosha. Hemiplegic migraine can be familial, meaning it runs in families, or sporadic, occurring in individuals without a family history.[1] Patients may rarely have a bilateral motor weakness either simultaneously or in succession.[2] This study explores the Ayurvedic approach to managing Ardhavbhedaka through a comprehensive review of classical texts, contemporary literature, and clinical experiences. The treatment protocol emphasizes personalized care, including Shamana (palliative) therapies to pacify aggravated Doshas, Srotosodhana (channel purification) procedures to remove underlying causative factors, and Rasayana therapies to strengthen the body's natural healing mechanisms. Ayurvedic management aims not only to alleviate acute symptoms but also to prevent recurrence and improve overall quality of life. This abstract highlight the efficacy and holistic nature of Ayurveda in addressing Hemiplegic migraine, offering insights for further research and integrative clinical applications.
