The Impact

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.

Objective: According to the ICHD-3 criteria, menstrual migraine (MM) is divided into two groups: pure menstrual migraine (PMM) and menstrually-related migraine (MRM). The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the severity of headache using a visual analog scale (VAS) and the effect on quality of life using the Headache Impact Test (HIT) and Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) tests before and after 3 months of treatment in using short-term prophylaxis with acetazolamide. Methods: Patients who presented to the headache outpatient clinic of the neurology department with a diagnosis of MM were retrospectively reviewed. Acetazolamide was given at a dosage of 500 mg daily for 5 days starting two days before the predicted onset of the menstrual cycle as a short-term prophylactic treatment. VAS, MIDAS, and HIT assessments were performed before and after treatment. Results: A total of 26 patients with PMM and 26 patients with MRM were identified. After acetazolamide treatment, statistically significant improvement was found in MIDAS, VAS and HIT scores in both groups of patients. The post-treatment MIDAS score was significantly lower in the MRM group, but there was no significant difference in post-treatment VAS and HIT scores between the groups. Conclusion: Using acetazolamide for short-term prophylaxis in patients with MM leads to decreased severity and frequency of headache and improvement in quality of life. The study is the first in the literature to use acetazolamide for short-term prophylaxis in patients diagnosed with MM.
