Zara Rasheed, Muhammad Shah, Iqra Nazir, Adnan Hashim.


Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the association between physical activity and migraine frequency in female university students with upper cross syndrome (UCS).
Methodology: This cross-sectional study involved 170 students with UCS from the University of Lahore, the University of Central Punjab, and NUST Islamabad. The Golden Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire and the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment) questionnaire were employed to gather data.
Results: The mean age of participants was 22.48±2.891 years. Out of 170 participants, 59 (34.7%) were insufficiently active, 94 (55.3%) were moderately active, and 17 (10%) were active. Additionally, 17 (10%) had no migraines, 96 (56.5%) experienced moderate migraine, and 57 (33.5%) suffered from severe migraine. The observed differences in physical activity levels and migraine frequency were statistically significant (p=0.000).
Conclusion: There was an association between migraine frequency and physical activity. If physical activity increased, the migraine decreased.

Key words: Physical activity, migraine frequency, university students, upper cross syndrome.
