Abstract

Migraine is generally a vascular type of headache characterized by attacks of moderate to severe throbbing pain that is usually unilateral and shows a strong familial tendency. It is idiopathic in origin. Migraineurs often describe environmental triggers of their headaches, such as barometric pressure change, bright sunlight, flickering lights, air quality, and odours. The suggestive pathophysiology of migraine is associated with the activation of trigeminal vascular system and cortical spreading depolarising depression waves. Migraine affects an estimated more than 10% of people worldwide, occurs most often among people aged 20 to 40 years. This article is a study of case series of migraine, which contains 5 cases that were treated with homoeopathic medicines and the outcomes are analysed. Out of 5 cases, 1 case was prescribed with Natrum sulphuricum, 2 cases were prescribed with Nux vomica and 2 cases were prescribed with Natrum muriaticum. Out of 5 cases, the medicines were prescribed in 200C for 3 cases and the medicines were prescribed in 30C for 2 cases. Out of 5 cases, medicine was repeated every alternate day in 1 case, once in 2 days in 1 case, once in 3 days in 3 cases.
