Description
As a disease, migraine has an ancient history, deriving its name from the Greek word ἡμικρᾱνίᾱ (imikrāníā), meaning “pain in half the skull”, similarly called ardhavabhedaka shiroroga in Ayurveda, referring to a “half-sided” (ardha) “painful” (avabhedaka) “disease of the head” (shiroroga). Up to 15% of the population suffers from migraine, and is a major cause of disability that doesn’t have many good options for treatment in modern medicine.
