Efficacy of Virechana Karma in the Management of Migraine: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Migraine is a prevalent neurovascular disorder causing significant disability worldwide. Limitations of conventional pharmacotherapy, including adverse effects and recurrence, necessitate exploration of alternative therapies. Virechana Karma, a therapeutic purgation procedure in Ayurveda, is traditionally indicated in Pitta-dominant disorders such as Ardhavabhedaka (migraine).
