This trial examined whether two non-drug treatments—transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and supervised exercise—could help women with migraines feel better and live more easily. Women in the study continued taking their regular migraine medication while also receiving either active TENS treatment plus exercise, or a placebo TENS session plus home exercises. Researchers wanted to see if adding these physical therapies to standard medication could make a real difference in how often migraines happened and how much they interfered with daily life.
Migraine is a serious condition that affects many women and can severely limit their ability to work, exercise, and enjoy life. While medication helps, doctors are looking for additional treatments that could work alongside drugs to give patients more relief and help them stay active.
Participants attended treatment sessions 3 days per week for 8 weeks at the university hospital. Everyone first received a 30-minute education session about migraine triggers and lifestyle changes, plus printed materials with recommendations. Those in the active treatment group received 20-minute electrical nerve stimulation sessions and supervised exercise classes that included neck stabilization, stretching, and balance work. Those in the comparison group received a single placebo nerve stimulation session and a home exercise program instead. Throughout the study, participants continued taking their regular migraine medications as prescribed by their doctor.
