While medications are the primary treatment, the potential of physiotherapy as an integrative approach remains underexplored.

The mean MIDAS score was 36.7\u2009\u00b1\u200945.3, indicating a significant impact on daily life. While 39 out of 200 (19.5%) had undergone physiotherapy for their headache, 161 out of 200 (80.5%) had not. Of those who had, 22 out of 39 (56.4%) reported benefits, including reduced attack intensity and frequency. Interestingly, 145 out of 161 (90.1%) expressed interest in physiotherapy, with many expecting it to reduce attack intensity, 57 out of 200 (28.5%) and frequency, 77 out of 200 (38.5%).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study highlights the substantial burden of migraines and the potential of physiotherapy as an adjunctive treatment.
