Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
It is hypothesized that both Bala Taila Nasya and Pathyadi Kwatha will demonstrate significant efficacy in reducing the intensity and frequency of Vatika Shirahshoola. Bala Taila Nasya is expected to show superior efficacy in alleviating localized Vata symptoms and providing sustained relief due to its direct action on Urdhwanga (head region) and Prana Vayu. Pathyadi Kwatha is expected to provide systemic Vata pacification and analgesic effects. Both interventions are anticipated to be safe.Timepoint: 1 month	—
