A Review on Various Non-Pharmacological Treatments in Migraine

Migraine is a neurological condition characterized by excruciating headaches, typically on one side or sometimes both sides, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and noise. It is a severe and debilitating brain disorder that is rated as the sixth most disabling condition worldwide by the World Health Organization and the most disabling among all neurological disorders. Although the exact causes of migraines remain unknown, there are a wide variety of environmental and biological variables that might bring on these painful headaches. Our research in this publication centred on non-pharmacological treatments for migraines, namely those that lessen the migraine's frequency, length, and severity of pain. Some of these methods include making changes to one's diet (such as adhering to a ketogenic diet, maintaining a healthy weight, eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, avoiding foods that may trigger migraines, increasing magnesium intake through foods high in fibre, and using ginger, which contains bioactive compounds that can alleviate acute migraines). While yoga may relieve discomfort, exercise or physical activity can sometimes set it off. Anybody can do these treatments in the comfort of their own home.
