Research Summary
A recent study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine highlights the benefits of yoga-based breathing and relaxation practices as an adjunctive therapy for chronic migraine sufferers. In this randomized controlled trial, 90 adults with chronic migraine received either a structured pranayama and relaxation program alongside standard medical treatment or standard care alone. Over 12 weeks, those in the yoga intervention group showed significantly greater reductions in headache frequency, intensity, and migraine-related disability compared to the control group. Additionally, improvements in quality of life and autonomic function were observed, with increased heart rate variability and reduced resting heart rate and blood pressure. No adverse events were reported, reinforcing the potential of integrating these mind-body techniques into chronic migraine management.
