Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the contract-relax technique of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and the static stretching exercise are effective in reducing the frequency, intensity and duration of headache and in improving the perception of quality of life in women with migraine.
