Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Migraine is a very common neurobiological disorder caused by increased excitability of the Central Nervous System. It is among the causes of the highest morbidity worldwide. Migraine has considerable economic and social impact ; affects the quality of life of patients and disrupts work life, social activities and family life. To decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks may be the first goal than treating the attacks.
The study was designed as a Parallel Group, Add on, Randomized Controlled Experiment in order to observe the effects of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches, frequency and severity.
Methods:
Participants will be divided into 2 parallel arms, intervention and control (treatment as usual). Cluster randomization will be performed to prevent intergroup contamination. Breathing techniques will be taught to the intervention group by the researcher. Both groups will continue to use pharmacotherapy for migraine. Both groups will be evaluated with migraine disability level (MIDAS) at the beginning and end of the study. The primary output of the study is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the frequency and severity of attacks in migraine-like headaches. The secondary output is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the MIDAS level.
Discussion:
The results of the study will provide information about the effect of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches. The results of this study will contribute to the literature, since migraine is among the chronic diseases and pharmacotherapy options are limited.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
breathing techniques
The patients in the intervention group will be taught and practiced breathing technique. Breathing techniques will be taught face-to-face by the researcher to the patients in the intervention group. The participant will breathe through one nostril at a natural rate and depth, while the other nostril will be closed with the thumb or forefinger. After the act of breathing, it will open the closed nostril, close the open nostril and breathe naturally. As explained later, they will continue the cycle with the act of breathing. This process is described as a loop.
breathing techniques
Intervention will be daily use of breathing techniques thought by the researcher as explained in detail in arm/group descriptions
treatment as usual
The control group will continue his/her usual treatment as advised by the physician.
