Physiotherapy Intervention for Migraine Symptoms

Efficacy of Physiotherapy Intervention Among University Students With Migraine Symptoms

Sponsor

Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman

Enrollment

87 participants

Start Date

Sep 18, 2022

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Migraine

Summary

The goal of this randomized control trial is to analyse the effectiveness of Physiotherapy intervention among university students with migraine symptoms. The main objective is: 1. To determine the effect of aerobic exercise on the resting-state brainwaves among university students in UTAR with migraine symptoms compared with biofeedback and control exercise. 2. To analyse the influence of aerobic exercise on the sleep quality and quality of life among the cohort compared with biofeedback and control exercise. Although the Migraine Research Foundation listed three main types of non-drug treatments for migraine are lifestyle advice, therapies, and exercises. Some common aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, a behavioral weight loss program, cycling, and a combination of cross-training, walking, jogging, and cycling are suggested to be beneficial to the migraine patients but there remains no specific protocol established till now. Hence the other main objective of this is to establish a aerobic exercise protocol for patients with migraine symptoms.

Interventions

OTHERAerobic training

The warm-up exercise will include light aerobic activity and some dynamic stretching movements. Similarly, the cool down exercises will include buttock stretch, hamstring stretch, inner thigh stretch, calf stretch and thigh stretch. Each stretch to be performed for 5 repetitions with a hold time of 15 seconds for each. An elastic band secured around the head will be used to apply local pressure over the area. Kettler Computeranleitung Advanced display will be used to train static cycling. ProAction BH Treadmill G6700 instrument will be used for aerobic training.

OTHERBiofeedback Training

Neurotrac myoplus 4 pro instrument will be used for EMG biofeedback training.
