Sponsor's own description

Migraine: An episodic disorder consisting of severe headache, usually with photophobia (sensitivity to light), phonophobia (sensitivity to sound), and/or nausea (occasionally vomiting). Migraine is predominantly a female disease. The incidence of migraine was found to in women (18.2/1000 person-years) and between the ages of 15-19 in men (6.2/1000 person-years). The incidence of migraine was found to peak between the ages of 20-24 in women (18.2/1000 person-years) and between the ages of 15-19 in men (6.2/1000 person-years). Migraine treatments are generally classified as pharmacological (treatment with medication) and non-pharmacological (treatment with no medication). Laughter therapy has recently come to the fore as a non-pharmacological and alternative treatment in chronic pain management. In a randomized controlled study, 30 minutes of laughter therapy was applied to women on the 2nd and 6th days after mastectomy surgery and it was determined that women who received laughter therapy had a significant decrease in pain and anxiety levels. This study was planned to determine the effect of laughter therapy on women with migraine.
