چکیده
Methods To test the effectiveness of an integrated yoga therapy program for chronic migraine treatment in a low cost, nonclinical setting, a prospective, randomized, controlled trial was conducted in Jaipur, India. Subjects aged 18 to 65 years with 15 or more headache days per month, at least half of which were migraine/ migrainous headaches, were randomized 1:1 to either yoga therapy or standard management. Seventy men and women were randomly assigned. The intervention group went through individualized yoga treatment for 12-weeks with 4 consecutive therapeutic sessions a week. Each therapy session lasting for about 60 minutes focusing on strengthening, relaxation, releasing muscular tension and increasing self-efficacy. The control group consisted of standard care with the patient’s physician. Outcome measures included selfperceived pain intensity, frequency, and duration; functional status; depression; prescription and nonprescription medication use. Outcomes were measured at the end of the 12-week intervention and at a 6-month follow-up.
