Effect of a multisensory integration intervention on policewomen with migraine

Background: Multisensory integration is used for people who are having migraine attacks. When multisensory functions such as visual and auditory stimulation are applied, the level of migraine triggers and attacks decreases gradually. Objectives: The study aimed to determine the effect of multisensory integration intervention on policewomen with migraine. Materials and methods: The study is based on a quasi-experimental study with 30 policewomen (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) aged between 20 and 60. The MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment Scale) was used to measure the migraine level among policewomen. Results: There is a significant reduction in migraine levels among female police officers. The data shows that the pre-test and post-test scores of both experimental and control groups were significantly different. Since the p value is lesser than 0.05, alternate hypothesis is accepted. Hence, there is a statistically significant difference in post-test scores between experimental and control group. This suggests that the intervention received by the experimental group had greater improvement when compared to the control group. Conclusion: Multisensory integration has a significant effect on reducing migraines among female police officers. This study’s benefit is to reduce the impact of migraines on individuals through multisensory integration-based activities.
