Multistrategic Approaches in Treating Acute Migraine During Pregnancy
Background and Objectives
Migraine affects many women, especially during pregnancy when hormonal changes complicate treatment options. This study explores non-drug methods like physiotherapy, exercise, and relaxation techniques to help manage migraines in pregnant women.
Study Overview
Sixty pregnant women with acute migraines participated in this study. They were divided into three groups: physiotherapy, structured exercise, and relaxation techniques. Each group underwent their respective intervention for 8 weeks. The study measured:
- Migraine frequency
- Migraine severity (using a Visual Analog Scale)
- Migraine duration
- Quality of life (SF-36)
- Stress levels (PSS)
- Sleep quality (PSQI)
Results
All three methods significantly reduced migraine frequency, severity, and duration (p < 0.05). Key findings include:
- Physiotherapy: 45% reduction in frequency and 36% in severity.
- Exercise: 42% improvement in duration.
- Relaxation Techniques: Most effective in lowering stress and anxiety.
Quality of life and sleep improved for all groups, with each method offering unique benefits.
Conclusions
Physiotherapy, structured exercise, and relaxation techniques are safe and effective for managing acute migraines during pregnancy. These approaches provide valuable alternatives to medication, emphasizing the need for holistic migraine management. Further research is needed to explore long-term effects and combined methods.
