  • Abstract:
  • Background: Migraine is a recurrent neurological disorder that significantly impacts the quality of life. While conventional treatments may provide symptomatic relief, many patients seek complementary therapies due to side effects or inadequate response. Homeopathy, a holistic system of medicine, offers individualized remedies, among which Iris versicolor is commonly used for migraines with characteristic symptoms. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of Iris versicolor 200C in the homeopathic management of migraine through a prospective observational case series involving 10 patients. Methods: Ten patients diagnosed with migraine without aura, aged between 18–45 years, were selected based on clinical presentation matching the symptom profile of Iris versicolor. Each patient received Iris versicolor 200C, administered as a single dose or in repeated doses depending on case requirements. Follow-up was conducted over a 12-week period, and outcomes were assessed based on changes in headache frequency, intensity, duration, and need for conventional medication. Results: Majority of the patients reported a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Some patients experienced early improvement in associated symptoms such as nausea, visual disturbances, and irritability. No adverse effects were noted during the treatment period. The improvement was sustained throughout the follow-up in most cases. Conclusion: Iris versicolor 200C showed promising results in the individualized homeopathic management of migraine in this case series. These findings suggest the potential role of this remedy in selected migraine patients and warrant further research through larger controlled studies.
