Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 3
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.

Treatments
Experimental: Aerobic training
Participants in the aerobic group will undergo a training that includes walking, static bicycle, and neck exercise. The participants start the session with a warm-up for 5 minutes followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise and end with 5 minutes of cool-down exercise. 40 minutes/ session, 3 times per week for 6 weeks.
Experimental: Biofeedback training
Participants in this group will undergo an electromyography (EMG) biofeedback training for trapezius and frontalis using rose for relaxation 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Each session will be for 30 minutes with a 5-minute resting period between each muscle session.
No_intervention: Waitlist Control group
The control group will receive the patient education sheet with the basic information about migraine in terms of symptoms, triggers, and prevention tips. This group is also called as waitlist control group who will receive intervention after the active treatment group.
