Brief Summary: Menstrual migraine is severe, lasts longer and causes associated nausea and disability, along with lowered QOL, special treatment strategies are often necessary, but however only about half of the people who suffer from migraines show clinically positive responses to medication. . As a result of these shortcomings, complimentary treatment is required to treat such conditions and as yoga exercises are considered to be an alternative medication for alleviating migraine, they can be considered as an alternative form of treatment for menstrual migraine on the basis of evidences which supports that yoga plays an important role in reducing sympathetic activity, increasing parasympathetic activity, improving QOL and decreasing leveled pain and disability in migraineurs. This study aims to find the effect of yoga on reducing the pain, disability and enhancing QOL in young women suffering from menstrual migraine using the migraine pain scale, migraine disability index, migraine specific QOL questionnaire as the assessment tools. The samples will be divided into intervention and control group. The intervention group will have to perform yoga for 8weeks, while no active intervention will be given to the control group.
