Study Overview

Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common neurological disorder. It causes significant problems such as reduced work productivity, stress, and difficulty in daily activities.
Vataja Shirashoola closely resembles tension-type headache. Ayurvedic management includes therapies like Snehana, Svedana, and Nasya, along with medicines that balance Vata. Balahathadi Taila" is a medicated oil mentioned in Sahasrayogam, This possess mainly Vathahara & Balya properties along with Tridosha Shamaka.
However, there are limited clinical studies comparing the combined use of Balahathadi Taila (external therapy) with Pathyakshadhatryadi Kashaya (internal medicine) versus the Kashaya alone.Therefore, this study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of these two treatment approaches in managing Vataja Shirashoola (Tension-type headache).
