Sishun Formula: Promising Relief for Acute Migraine Attacks

Research Summary

A new study published in Frontiers in Neurology explores the potential of the Sishun Formula (SSF), a traditional Chinese medicine, as a treatment for acute migraine attacks. Current migraine medications often have side effects and limitations, highlighting the need for safer alternatives. This trial will involve 144 participants experiencing acute migraines and the "Ying-Wei disharmony" syndrome, randomly assigned to receive either SSF or a placebo. The primary goal is to assess headache freedom 2 hours after administration. Secondary measures include symptom relief, sustained efficacy, and improvements in traditional Chinese medicine syndrome. The study aims to provide robust evidence of SSF's effectiveness and safety.
