Introduction: The modern man must cope with a variety of difficulties, strains, stressors and anxieties. Irregular and unnatural eating habits, repressing natural cravings, inadequate sleep and a lack of downtime are inseparable components of our routine that drain the body's energy and eventually result in disease. Excessive crying, anguish, fear and terror have all been linked to its aetiopathogeneses. One such psycho-somatic illness that is comparable to Vatika Shiroroga as mentioned in Ayurvedic writings is tension headache. The most typical form of chronic, recurrent head discomfort is a tension headache. Episodic TTH and Chronic TTH are its two types. It is one of the ailments for which patients most regularly seek medical advice. Since the beginning of time, countless analgesics have been introduced to the armoury of the contemporary doctor only to demonstrate their worthlessness. Thus, with the intention of identifying and creating an alternative, safer, effective and long-lasting therapy, the study titled. Objectives: A Comparative Study of Dashmoola Taila Nasya and Shirodhara in Vatika Shiroroga (Tension Headache). Methods: Trial was carried out on 60 patients. They were divided randomly into two groups of 30 patients each. The treatments were successfully completed by 29 patients in Group A (Nasya Karma with Dashmoola Taila) and 27 patients in Group B (Shirodhara with Dashmoola Taila). The treatment lasted a total of 27 days. Follow-up was conducted one month after the trial's conclusion. Result: Although both therapies were approximately equally beneficial, "Group B" performed better than "Group A" on the basis of percentage relief.
