Migraine is a type of primary headache with a high degree of associated disability that can present with a variety of indications and co-morbidities. The role of physical therapy treatment in migraine management is largely obscure. To investigate the combine effect of aerobic exercises and therapeutic pain neuroscience education on disability, pain pressure threshold, head posture and quality of life (QoL) in patients having migraine. Subjects were screened by using Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) and after screening total sample of 50 subjects were randomly assigned into two groups: Group A (Experimental, n=25) and Group B (Control, n=25). Migraine disability assessment, pressure algometer, craniovertebral angle (CVA) and migraine specific quality of life were examined before and after 6 weeks of the intervention. Group A were given aerobic exercises and therapeutic pain neuroscience education along with conventional treatment for 45 min 3 days/week for 6 weeks, whereas participants in the Group B performed conventional exercises alone for 20 min 3 days/week for 6 weeks. Significant differences were observed in migraine disability score (P=0.003) and pain pressure threshold (P=0.039, P=0.030 and P=0.025) and improvement in forward head posture (P=0.001) between the groups after the intervention period, signifying greater improvement in the group A. QoL also improved in both the groups after intervention. Main findings of the present study suggest that the therapeutic pain neuroscience education and aerobic exercises combined with conventional treatment together maybe helpful to give better quality of life, reduced disability, increased pain pressure threshold and increased CVA to patients with migraine.
