The man when in health to the newlineman now in disease, the deviation from the state of health, which is manifested through newlinethe signs, and symptoms of the disease are to be perceived carefully by the physician. For newlinewhich our master Hahnemann in 5th Edition of Organon of Medicine, Aphorism 4, He is newlinelikewise preserver of health if he knows the things that derange health and cause the newlinedisease and how to remove them from the persons in health. Aphorism 5, Useful to the newlinephysician in assisting him to cure the particulars of the most probable exciting cause of acute disease, as also the most significant points in the whole history of the chronic disease, to enable him to discover is fundamental cause, which is generally due to chronic miasm. In these investigations, the ascertainable physical constitution of the patient, his moral and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and habits, his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual function, etc are to be taken into consideration. Migraine is essentially a periodic headache usually accompanied by nausea and photophobia which may be preceded by focal neurological symptom (aura). Aura may be experiencing without ensuing headache, such attacks have in the past been called migraine equivalents. Because of the variability in the symptom of migraine from one patient to another, and even between recurrent attack in the same patient. So this control trial study was designed to assess role of miasm and effect of homoeopathic antimiasmatic medicine in migraine.
