Abstract

Almost all Unani physicians have advocated Nutool therapy in the management of migraine (Shaqiqa), particularly with or without medicated oil or liquid, but unfortunately these have not evaluated on scientific parameters. Despite the fact that, this therapy is in the practice of Unani physician and a large number of patients have been treated successfully; this regimen still requires scientific validation to generalize their popularity and acceptability.   Present paper is the case series of diagnosed migraine patients to assess the effect of Nutool therapy on headache intensity, MIDAS scale and Pain intensity. The present study entitled “Case Series to evaluate role of Nutool Therapy on Headache frequency (from the daily headache diary),MIDAS (migraine disability assessment score) headache intensity by VAS in diagnosed cases of Shaqiqa (Migraine) in patients attending HAHU and SUMER ,Jamia Hamdard Delhi was conducted in the Department of Tahaffuzi-wa-samaji Tib, SUMER, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi during the period of September 2020 to Nov 2020  in Psychiatric OPD of HAHC Hospital, Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi on diagnosed Patients of Migraine as per ICHD3rd (International classification of headache disorders) Criteria. Nutool with Rogan Gul was done for 30 minutes for 12 sittings. The analysis of Nutool therapy on intensity of pain was done and it was found that Nutool therapy reduced the intensity of pain, and it was found statistically significant P<.005 (ANOVA of repeated measures) Freidman statistic Fr =17.76. Nutool therapy also reduced the MIDAS (migraine disability assessment score) and was statistically significant (P<.0047).and was effective on intensity of headache and found statistically significantly P<.0001. Further studies need to be carried out so that it can be advocated on large scale in management of migraine effectively.
