Abstract:
It is thought that aberrant brain activity that affects blood flow, hormones, and nerve pathways in the brain and surrounding tissues is the first step in migraine attacks. A complex disorder, migraine is influenced by both environmental and hereditary factors. Certain genes have been linked to migraines, and the condition frequently runs in families. Hormonal fluctuations can be a trigger, especially for women going through menstruation or pregnancy. Attacks can be triggered by stress, anxiety, and changes in sleep patterns. Common triggers include bright lights, loud noises, and overpowering scents or perfumes. Other factors may include particular foods, caffeine withdrawal, and missed meals. The main objective of this study was to do a systematic review to examined the effects of pranayama intervention on migraine. Data was collected from PubMed and Web of Science. Randomized controlled trials published in English from the inception of the database until 15st October, 2025, were included. Only pranayama as intervention were included in the study. It may be concluded that migraine patients' antioxidant levels, stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and general quality of life can all be significantly improved by pranayama practice.
