A Case of Migraine Treated with Homoeopathy

.


INTRODUCTION
Among the most prevalent disorders of the neurological system are headache disorders, which are characterised by persistent headaches [1]. The migraine headache is the most common, prevalent, incapacitating, and essentially treatable, but it is nevertheless underestimated and undertreated [2]. A common chronic headache disorder known as migraine is characterised by recurrent attacks that last four to seventy-two hours, have a pulsating quality, are of moderate to severe intensity, are made worse by normal physical activity, and are accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia or phonophobia [3] . Because of the significant influence it has on the patient's quality of life (QOL), it is known as the seventh disabler [4]. Among kids and teenagers, it causes headaches the most frequently. Given the toll that migraine has on children and their families, as well as the challenges associated with diagnosis and treatment brought on by phenotypic variation and potential differential diagnoses, paediatric migraine research is essential [5]. The most frequent trigger variables, according to a 2012 study by Mollaoglu M, were emotional stress (79%), sleep disturbance (64%) and nutritional issues (44%) [6] . In patients with migraine with aura, stress and sleep were major triggers, whereas environmental factors were significant triggers in patients with migraine without aura. Women were more likely than men to experience triggers related to stress, sleep, and the environment.Patients who suffer from migraines frequently have triggers, thus avoiding them may help patients better manage their condition [6] .Men only have a 6% probability of getting a migraine, whereas women have an 18% chance. Hormonal changes, particularly oestrogen, are often blamed for the higher incidence among women. In most cases, migraines start during adolescence or between the ages of 35 and 45 [7] .There are two main varieties of migraine: migraine with aura, which is mainly distinguished by the fleeting, localised neurological symptoms that frequently precede or occasionally accompany the headache. Moreover, a premonitory phase that starts hours or days before the headache and a headache relief phase are experienced by some patients.Hyperactivity, hypoactivity, depression, cravings for specific foods, frequent yawning, exhaustion, and neck stiffness and/or discomfort are examples of premonitory and resolution symptoms.A headache with specific characteristics and associated symptoms, such as unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate to severe pain intensity, aggravation by or causing avoidance of regular physical activity, during headache nausea and/or vomiting, or photophobia and phonophobia can occur, characterise migraine without aura [8] .The diagnosis of migraine can be made by taking a patient's medical history. If necessary, orthopaedic tests, a cranial nerve exam, a complete blood count, a urinalysis, and cranial magnetic resonance imaging can also be used to rule out other possibilities [7] .

Intervention
Patient was prescribed with Nux-v 30C in water dose repeated two times a day RESULT Nux vom 30 is given to the patient. On follow up, Mental state and physical generals are improved. PL/ 1d is given. Finally the patient feels better on Similimum Nux Vom 30.The patient improved holistically after the prescription of homoeopathic medicine. Marked improvement noticed within 30 days.

DISCUSSION
According to research, fundamental neurological anomalies brought on by genetic changes taking place in the brain are the cause of migraine. According to estimates, they are the most expensive neurological condition in the European Union, costing more than € 27 billion annually, the majority of which comes from lost productivity. The effectiveness of individuals who do go to work while having a migraine is reduced by about one third. In this case, Migraine is treated with nux vom. The improvementstarted the very next day after the medicine was given. Hence, it is stated that nux vom has given immense results in the case of migraine. It is proven that homoeopathy is efficacious. Furthermore, it isanother evidence-based case study that demonstrates that migraine can be treated with homoeopathy.

CONCLUSION
The study found that nux vom 30C improved the migraine as well as the patient's general health. Most importantly, the patient's day-to-day activity has improved. A similimum is discovered through proper individualization, which aids in the treatment of a patient. FUND: financial support and sponsorship none.
