Abstract / manuscript text

Research studies demonstrate that 90% of headaches are tension headaches and migraines. Besides, about 6% of men and 16% of women usually suffer from migraines, with the highest prevalence being between 20-35 years. Unfortunately, the issue is directly related to the family history of individuals. It is estimated that migraine headaches compel people to incur about $1 billion in medical-care costs, $5.4 billion as an outcome of loss of productivity, and $7.9 by employers. Unfortunately, migraines are the fifth most common reason why people often visit the emergency departments (University of Wisconsin Madison, 2023). Integrative health often emphasizes self-care and conventional mindful awareness to realize well-being and good health. The key areas of concern are physical activity, mind and emotions, spirit and soul, co-workers, family, recharge, food and drink, personal development, and surroundings. In most cases, the discussion that leads to integrative health outcomes begins with understanding and discussion of purpose, aspiration, and meaning and later incorporates a variety of professional and personal strategies involving physical therapy to multiple supplement and elimination diets (Wells, Beuthin & Granetzke, 2019). The case at hand involves a thirty-eight-year-old woman who is in a lineage with a history of migraines. She has had a migraine, but she is positively responding to the treatment regimen that is being offered. Therefore, the paper is set to investigate the integrative approaches to migraine disease treatment protocol by focusing on case studies that consider the discussion of the non-traditional and traditional strategies by associating the approaches to the case of a thirty-eight-year-old woman.
