Following three years of unsuccessful conventional treatment, a 55 year old male suffering from common migraine which would commence with nausea followed by vomiting every hour for 12 hours and throbbing pain well localized to the left fronto-parietal area, was refered to Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital. Consultation with a homeopathic physician, who also has extensive experience in diagnosis and treatment of headache disorders, leads to the prescription of a single homeopathic remedy (Bronia) which was absolutely effective for the condition. On follow-up 2 months later, the patient has been headache-free and had lost no time from work. He had only talen the Bronia for 3 weeks (ie; 12 doses). He remains attack free 3 years after treatment. This case is offered as an open, admittedly retrospective study, comparing the best of conventional migraine therapy with appropriate homeopathic therapy in the same patient.
