Brief Summary

The goal of this randomized control trial is to analyse the effectiveness of Physiotherapy intervention among university students with migraine symptoms. The main objective is: 1. To determine the effect of aerobic exercise on the resting-state brainwaves among university students in UTAR with migraine symptoms compared with biofeedback and control exercise. 2. To analyse the influence of aerobic exercise on the sleep quality and quality of life among the cohort compared with biofeedback and control exercise. Although the Migraine Research Foundation listed three main types of non-drug treatments for migraine are lifestyle advice, therapies, and exercises. Some common aerobic exercises such as walking, jogging, a behavioral weight loss program, cycling, and a combination of cross-training, walking, jogging, and cycling are suggested to be beneficial to the migraine patients but there remains no specific protocol established till now. Hence the other main objective of this is to establish a aerobic exercise protocol for patients with migraine symptoms.
