“…The management of RM/CM is complicated and the conventional treatment causes moderate to severe side effects and badly affects the psychological state of its sufferers [5] . A North India based Ayurvedic clinical practice has reported sustainable and complete relief from migraine in significant number of cases by using an Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol, comprising of four herbo-mineral Ayurvedic preparations, Narikel Lavan, Numax, Rason Vati and Godanti Mishran [6,7] .…”

Background: Migraine is a disorder marked by recurrent episodes of headache. There is a subset of migraine patients who remain refractory to the conventional prophylactic and abortive therapies. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic role of an ayurvedic treatment protocol in patients who had chronic/ refractory migraine. Methods: This single-center, open label, randomized, controlled clinical trial compared the efficacy of ayurvedic treatment protocol to conventional treatment. Included patients were 18-65 years of age and met the diagnostic criteria for chronic/ refractory migraine. The patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the ayurvedic treatment or conventional therapy at the baseline and were followed at regular intervals for 360 days. The primary outcome was reduction in the number of headache days in the last 3 months and the secondary outcomes were a reduction in the visual analog scale (VAS) score and migraine disability assessment score (MIDAS) as compared to the baseline. Results: Patients (n=154) were randomized to the two treatment groups with similar baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. The patients in ayurvedic treatment group had a greater reduction in the number of headache days, VAS score and MIDAS score at day 360 (p<0.05). Further, there were no reported medication-related adverse effects in either group. Conclusion: Ayurvedic treatment protocol is well tolerated and is associated with significant improvement in symptoms of chronic refractory migraine.

The written case that reflects the course of treatment for a person is central to the East Asian medical tradition. This paper examines the approaches and particularities of producing the actual written account of the clinical encounter, or a particular aspect of a case, that may be required by acupuncture practitioners and researchers. It will discuss the influences that can be brought to bear on the construction and production of these accounts. In addition, it will outline and highlight historical approaches to the case record documentation process as well as debate the value and purpose of these. This paper aims both to assist the production of helpful and authoritative case records for practitioners and researchers, and to highlight the usefulness of such case records. Moreover, it will discuss not only why the case needs to be written and for whom, but also which agencies support and control what is written. How can contemporary requirements and traditional views both be incorporated accurately, with context and with meaning? The essence of this paper is that practitioner/patient interactions need to be documented, and it will explore how this can best be supported.
