With the exploration of <em>Marma</em> Science, the whole scenario of Indian surgery may change in multidimensional approaches. <em>Marmas</em> are the vital points in the body where <em>Prana</em> exist. According to <em>Ayurvedic</em> texts the <em>Marmas</em> are the <em>Sthana</em>, when injured may be life threatening. If this <em>Marma</em> <em>Sthana</em> is properly stimulated than many physical and mental disorders like Migraine, Stress, Anxiety can be treated. <em>Acharya</em> has described <em>Shiroroga</em> with his etiology, symptoms, complication and treatment. <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em> is one of them. According to <em>Acharyas</em>, there will be severe pain in half side of the head, affecting particularly <em>Manya, Bhru, Shankha, Karna, Akshi</em> and <em>Lalaat</em>. The nature of pain is like <em>Shastra Arani Nibham</em>. In modern, Migraine is throbbing unilateral headache preceded by an aura associated with vomiting and visual disturbance. In modern Era, <em>Marma Chikitsa </em>plays an important role in the management of <em>Ardhavabhedaka </em>(Migraine). As Pain is the major symptom which affects the person’s day to day activities, so pain is the major target in the management of <em>Ardhavabhedaka. </em>Therefore, <em>Marma Chikitsa </em>can be a non-medicinal and non-invasive approach in the management of <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em> (Migraine). <em>Shiromarma </em>can be used effectively in the management of <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em> (Migraine). This abstract elaborates the role <em>Marma Chikitsa </em>in <em>Ardhavabhedaka</em> (Migraine).</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences}, author={Vandna Raje Singh and Rita Marwaha and Pankaj Gupta and Swatantra Kumar Chourasiya and Shraddha Sharma}, year={2023}, month={Feb.}, pages={219 - 223} }
