简要总结
The goal of this randomized control trial is to analyse the effectiveness of Physiotherapy intervention among university students with migraine symptoms. The main objective is:
- To determine the effect of aerobic exercise on the resting-state brainwaves among university students in UTAR with migraine symptoms compared with biofeedback and control exercise.
- To analyse the influence of aerobic exercise on the sleep quality and quality of life among the cohort compared with biofeedback and control exercise.
Although the Migraine Research Foundation listed three main types of non-drug treatments for migraine are lifestyle advice, therapies, and exercises. Some common aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, a behavioral weight loss program, cycling, and a combination of cross-training, walking, jogging, and cycling are suggested to be beneficial to the migraine patients but there remains no specific protocol established till now. Hence the other main objective of this is to establish a aerobic exercise protocol for patients with migraine symptoms.
详细描述
Habitual aerobic exercise has a major advantage of preventing or reducing symptoms of several chronic diseases and medical conditions. Aerobic or cardiovascular exercise by definition is a form of bodily movement that is fueled by aerobic energy-generating processes, where the energy demands of the exercise performed do not exceed the rate at which the cardiovascular system can supply oxygen to working muscles. Aerobic exercises have already proven to reduce frequency, duration, severity or associated disability in migraine. The physiology is that when one exercises, the body releases endorphins, which are the body's natural painkillers and natural anti-depressants chemicals called enkephalins. According to Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adult should exercise 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise and 2 or more days a week of muscle strengthening each week for relief of migraine or primary headaches. Similarly, a study conducted comparing neck treatment and aerobic exercise concluded that 5 weeks of intervention for migraine patient responded with better outcomes. According to American migraine foundation the exercise program, should include the cardiorespiratory fitness, flexibility exercises and muscular strengthening. For this reason, several studies encourage a multidisciplinary and tailored treatment approach for these patients. Hence the study aim to assess the efficacy of physiotherapy intervention especially aerobic exercise among university students with migraine symptoms.

盲法说明
A single blinding method will be used. The participant will not know whether he or she belongs to experimental group. Only the primary researcher performing the study will know if the participants are into aerobic training, biofeedback training or control group. Single blinding will be used in this study because the results produced are less likely to be biased.

结局指标
主要结局
resting-state EEG
时间窗: 20 minutes
Recording of resting-state EEG will be performed using MUSE 2 a portable EEG recording device. The headset has four dry sensors (two mastoid and two forehead sensors) and fits over the ears and extends at an angle over the middle of the forehead when properly fitted with 3 reference electrodes. Once the headband is fitted, the mind monitor app will be used for data acquisition. The data obtained will be imported to MATLAB using EEGLAB function plugins (muse monitor app) CSV file. Once imported the pre-processing steps will be done to run Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Amplitude and frequency, frequency band ratio, power spectrum density and coherence will be the primary measurement analyzed for the resting-state EEG recording,

- Health survey questionnaire(5 minutes)
- Migraine Specific Quality of life(10 minutes)
