Description

Migraine is a common disabling primary headache disorder as described by the International

headache society. Primary headaches are disorders that exist without an apparent cause with

recurrent and persistent head pain in comparison to secondary headaches which coexist with

specific inciting factors

There is a rise in the need for Complementary and Integrative medicine to provide long-term

healing solutions in non-communicable diseases in general and Migraine headaches in

particular. Knowing the limitations of the conventional medical approach, the present study,

therefore, evaluated the influence of the two Indian traditional systems of medicine, i.e.,

Ayurveda and Yoga as an integrative medical intervention. Changes following the use of

Ayurveda and Yoga therapy were studied on symptoms, migraine-related disability, perceived

stress, autonomic variables, muscle activity, and quality of life in patients with migraine

headache without aura.
