While various treatment options exist, including medication, non pharmacological interventions are also being explored to alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being. By exploring the impact of Pranayama on multiple domains, this study aimed to provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of this nonpharmacological intervention and its role in improving the well-being of individuals affected by migraine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Subjects and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Recently diagnosed migraine patients were assigned into two groups, namely the control group (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 43) and the Yoga group (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 43). The yoga group received 12 weeks of pranayama with conventional care, and the control group received conventional care alone. Cardiac autonomic functions and clinical scores (Migraine Disability Assessment Scores, Headache Impact Test-6, and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale) were assessed at baseline and the end of the intervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cardiac autonomic functions as well as clinical scores were improved in both the groups, and this was significant in the yoga group.
