  • Abstract:
  • Background:Migraine is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent headaches, often triggered by specific causative factors. In homeopathy, the principle of individualization plays a crucial role in selecting the similimum, wherein causative factors (exciting and maintaining causes) are considered essential for prescribing an effective remedy. This study explores the significance of causation in individualizing homeopathic treatment for migraine cases. Objectives: 1. To analyze the role of causative factors in the selection of the similimum for migraine patients. 2. To assess the clinical outcomes of individualized homeopathic treatment based on causation. 3. To compare the effectiveness of remedies selected with a focus on causation versus general symptom-based prescriptions. Methods: • A prospective observational study will be conducted on migraine patients attending a homeopathic clinic. • Detailed case-taking will be performed, emphasizing exciting and maintaining causes (e.g., stress, dietary habits, hormonal changes, environmental triggers). • Remedies will be prescribed based on individualized homeopathic principles, with special attention to causative factors. • Follow-up will be conducted over a period of 3–6 months to evaluate treatment response using standardized assessment tools like the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain intensity. Results: Preliminary findings are expected to demonstrate that remedy selection based on causative factors leads to better clinical outcomes in terms of reduced migraine frequency, intensity, and overall patient well-being compared to conventional symptom-based prescriptions. Conclusion: The study aims to highlight the significance of identifying and integrating causative factors in homeopathic case-taking for migraine. By reinforcing the role of causation in individualization, this research may contribute to refining homeopathic prescribing methods and improving treatment efficacy for migraine sufferers.
