A holistic concept based on traditional Persian medicine (TPM) describes a headache with a gastrointestinal (GI) origin (gastric• headache). Although the neurological manifestations of this headache are similar to those of other headaches, its etiology is diferent. Considering its simultaneous efects on the brain and GI system, a formulation was designed based on this concept. Tis study aimed to determine the safety and efcacy of the designed formulation on migraine headache (MH) associated with functional dyspepsia (FD). A total of 75 diagnosed cases of MH patients with concurrent FD were randomly divided equally into 3 groups: (i) the polyherbal formulation, sodium valproate (VPA), and amitriptyline group, (ii) VPA, amitriptyline, and polyherbal formulation placebo group, and (iii) the polyherbal formulation and VPA placebo group. Te primary outcomes, including frequency, duration, and severity of MH attacks, were measured at baseline and weeks 4, 8, and 12. However, secondary outcomes, including the Headache Impact Test 6 (HIT•6) Questionnaire and Parkman’s score, were evaluated at baseline and end of treatment. Te frequency, duration, and severity of migraine (P < 0.001 for all cases), HIT•6 (P < 0.001 for all cases), and FD (P < 0.001 for all cases) scores at the end of treatment showed a signifcant decrease in the 3 groups compared to the baseline. However, the diferences in those variables between the 3 groups were not signifcant at the end of the study. Te polyherbal formulation alone may improve the symptoms of migraine patients and other groups. Tis efect could be due to improving digestion and FD in migraine patients. 1.Introduction Te International Headache Society (IHS) has classifed headaches into primary and secondary types. Primary head• aches include migraine, tension•type, and cluster headaches [1]. Migraine headache (MH) is described as a chronic neu• rovascular disorder in the brain, characterized by unilateral throbbing pain [2, 3]. It is recognized as one of the top 10 debilitating diseases worldwide. According to the burden of disease study in 2013, this disorder was ranked the sixth cause Hindawi Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine Volume 2022, Article ID 9872933, 12 pages https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/9872933
