Abstract
Migraine is considered as the most significant risk factor among all menstrual symptoms. Approximately one of every three to five women migraines has probable menstrual migraine without aura. migraine attacks occurring at the time of menstruation are more severe and disabling, it last longer and are less responsive to symptomatic medication. The symptoms of migraine lead to significant deterioration in normal daily function and health. Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation can be used as non- pharmacological treatment for migraine so, the objective of study is to find out the effect of progressive muscle relaxation technique on facial pain in female with menstrual migraine.
Method & materials-female with the age of 18 to 25 years were included for study. Pillow, Couch, Stop watch, Pen & Paper was used in materials. To perform intervention VAS was taken before the treatment. After that Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation technique was performed by each female .it was performed under supervision of therapist on the 1st day of menstruation for 25min. Commands were given by the therapist and VAS was recorded after the intervention. Pre and Post VAS values were compared within group to analyze the effectiveness of treatment
Result-data was analyzed by SPSS statistics 20.00 software pre-treatment and post treatment comparison of VAS was done by paired t-test. The result showed significant improvement in VAS score (t=3.30 and p< 0.050) in patient with menstrual migraine.
Conclusion-based on above result present study concludes that the application of Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation technique in female with menstrual migraine helps to reduce immediate pain.
