Effect of Baladi Thalam in the management of Ardhavabhedaka (Migraine)
Abstract
Almost all our ancient Acharayas have mentioned about the Shiro-roga of which Shirah-shoola as the main symptom and also they have taken Shirah-shoola as the synonym of Shiro-roga. all the Acharyas have mentioned Ardhavabhedaka in Shiro-roga. Acharya Sushruta has mentioned 11 types of Shiro-roga in Uttar Tantra. Among them, one of them is Ardhavabhedaka in which paroxysmal unilateral headache associated with vertigo and pain of varying intensity is seen. This can be correlated with Migraine. In the present era, a boom in the Alternative and Complementary systems of medicine has led to deep introspection of their utility based on scientific validation. Hence it is the need of the hour to establish a firm clinical research based scientific data for classical treatments. Thalam is one such treatment modality implicated for the use in Shiroroga. An attempt has been made in the present clinical research to assess the effect of Baladi Thalam in the management of Migraine (Ardhavbhedaka). Total 30 patients were registered. Result of the study revealed that Baladi Thalam therapy is effective in reducing the sign and symptoms as well as physical assessment.
