* Status migrainosus
Status migrainous is a condition of migraine episodes that persist for less than 3 days, but in most cases, there are periods of relative relief, but these generally last no longer than four hours.
* Persistent aura without infarction (PAWI)
Persistent aura without infarction (PAWI) is a rare complication of migraines with neurological and ophthalmological examinations.
* Migrainous infarction
Migrainous infarction is a rare complication after the usual attacks of migraines with aura.
* Migraine seizures
A migraine seizure is an epileptic seizure that follows a migraine with aura, meeting the definition for migraine with aura, and an epileptic seizure must occur within one hour of the migraine aura.
In finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of headaches, scientists reviewed literature articles and relevant books using Web of Knowledge and SciVerse Scopus databases.
Devil's claw also known as the wood spider, is a plant of the genus Harpagophytum in the family of Pedaliaceae, native to South Africa.
The plant has been used as an herb in traditional and herbal medicine to treat fever, rheumatoid arthritis, skin, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach and kidney conditions, etc.
According to tested analysis, devil's claw-derived compounds show considerable promise as novel drugs in migraine prevention and treatment.
However, their antimigraine action was unknown.
And its safety has not been determined.
Based on the results, researchers suggest, "It is necessary to conduct more research to better understand their antimigraine action, to confirm their effectiveness and safety, and to introduce them into clinical practice".
Taken together, Devil's Claw a number of phytochemicals compounds may be considered a remedy for the treatment of migraine, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
