The aim of the study was to explore this possibility and the potential effect of yoga on managing migraine.Materials and Methods:In this study, 40 migraine patients aged 18-65 meeting specific diagnostic criteria, were recruited. After thorough diagnosis and exclusion of certain medical conditions and recent traumas, participants were randomly assigned to receive either conventional care only (CC) or conventional care alongside Yoga therapy (Y).Patients also rated the perceived benefit of the therapy and its effect on their condition. Data analysis was done using SPSS software. Results:InGroup CC (n=20), none of the participants reported that the therapy was "more harmful than helpful," seven reported it was "neither harmful nor helpful," and thirteen reported it was "more helpful than harmful." In Group Y (n=20), all participants reported that the therapy was "more helpful than harmful," and none reported it as "neither harmful nor helpful" or "more harmful than helpful.ā€¯Conclusion: The comprehensive benefits of yoga suggest its potential as a complementary therapy for managing chronic conditions, particularly those characterized by stress-related manifestations, offering promising outcomes within an integrative healthcare approach. |
