Background: Migraine is a common disorder characterized by recurrent, moderate-to-severe headaches, often accompanied by nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. Despite its prevalence, non-pharmacological treatments, such as physiotherapy, are not widely recognized or used. This study aims to review the efficacy of various physiotherapeutic techniques in managing migraine headaches. Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of different physiotherapy interventions in reducing migraine symptoms and improving the quality of life of migraine patients. Design: This narrative review includes studies that focus on physiotherapy interventions for migraine, with an emphasis on Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)that measure pain intensity, frequency, and quality of life outcomes. Method: A systematic search was conducted across databases including Pub Med, EBSCO, and others. The inclusion criteria focused on RCTs using physiotherapy techniques such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation(TENS), myofascial release, stretching, mobilization, and dry needling. Atotalof21studieswere selected based on their relevance and quality. Result : The studies reviewed demonstrated that physiotherapy interventions, including manual therapy, mobilization, and dry needling, significantly reduced migraine pain intensity, frequency, and improved patients’ overall quality of life. Techniques like stretching and myofascial release showed a moderate to high impact on symptom relief. Conclusion: Physiotherapeutic techniques provide a valuable, non-pharmacological option for managing migraine headaches. Manual therapy, manipulation, and mobilization are especially effective in reducing migraine intensity and duration, leading to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
