Individualised homoeopathic prophylaxis for migraine — addressing the vascular-neural-hormonal trigger cascade, menstrual link and constitutional susceptibility for long-term remission.

Neurological Problems

Understanding Migraine

Migraine is a neurovascular disorder — recurrent headaches (4–72 hrs) with unilateral, pulsating, moderate-severe pain, aggravated by activity, accompanied by nausea/vomiting and/or photophobia/phonophobia. With/without aura (visual, sensory, speech, motor, brainstem). Chronic migraine: ≥15 headache days/month, ≥8 migraine features. Pathophysiology: cortical spreading depression (aura), trigeminovascular activation (CGRP, substance P), central sensitisation, hypothalamic/brainstem dysregulation. Triggers: hormonal (menstrual, OCP, perimenopause), dietary (tyramine, nitrates, alcohol, caffeine withdrawal), environmental (weather, light, smell), sleep, stress, fasting.

Homoeopathy is highly effective for migraine prophylaxis — constitutional remedies selected by pain character (throbbing, bursting, stitching, tearing), laterality, modalities (dark, quiet, pressure, cold, sleep, vomiting), aura type, menstrual relationship, trigger profile, concomitant symptoms (nausea, vertigo, visual, mood) and miasmatic psoric/syphilitic background. Treatment reduces attack frequency, severity, duration, abortive medication use and improves interictal burden. Acute attacks: specific remedies by modalities (Belladonna, Glonoine, Iris, Sanguinaria, Spigelia etc.) alongside conventional triptans/NSAIDs. Preventive: constitutional remedy reduces central sensitisation and trigeminal hyperreactivity.

How Homoeopathy Helps

  • • Reduces trigeminovascular hyperreactivity and CGRP release
  • • Modulates cortical spreading depression threshold (aura)
  • • Addresses hormonal trigger cascade (oestrogen withdrawal, prostaglandins)
  • • Desensitises central trigeminal nucleus and thalamus
  • • Improves interictal anxiety, sleep, cognitive fog
  • • Reduces triptan/NSAID dependence and medication-overuse headache risk

Common Presentations Treated

  • Migraine without aura (common migraine)
  • Migraine with aura (classic migraine)
  • Chronic migraine (≥15 days/month)
  • Menstrual / catamenial migraine
  • Hemiplegic / vestibular / retinal migraine
  • Medication-overuse headache (post-detox)

    • Consultation Process

    1. 01 Headache diary: frequency, duration, severity (VAS), laterality, aura, triggers, menses
    2. 02 MIDAS / HIT-6 disability score, abortive/preventive medication history
    3. 03 Neurological exam, neuroimaging if red flags (thunderclap, focal deficit, papilloedema)
    4. 04 Constitutional remedy + acute remedies kit, trigger management, sleep/diet regularity
    5. 05 Follow-up 4–6 weeks: headache diary review, MIDAS, abortive use, remedy adjustment

    When to Seek Care

    Red flags (urgent imaging): Thunderclap headache (subarachnoid), new headache >50 years, progressive pattern, focal neurological signs, papilloedema, postural aggravation (IIH/CSF leak), systemic symptoms (fever, weight loss, malignancy). Chronic migraine with medication overuse — detox before preventive trial.

    Essential: Homoeopathy for prophylaxis. Acute attacks: triptans/NSAIDs + acute remedies. Never delay emergency evaluation for red flags.

    Care is planned to reduce recurrence and improve tolerance to known triggers. Follow-up tracks headache days, severity, associated nausea, sleep quality and medicine dependence.

    • Migraine with nausea or light sensitivity
    • Stress, sleep or food-triggered headaches
    • Hormonal migraine around periods
