Aim and Background: Migraine is a psychosomatic disorder reported as one of the most common disorders of disability among all noncontagious diseases in the world. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of lifestyle training and therapy products derived traditional medicine on reducing the symptoms in patients who suffer from migraine. Methods and Materials: A semi-experimental method was used along with a pre- and post-test design and control group with a follow-up period of 40 days. Fourthy five people diagnosed with migraine by a neurologist, who were referreing to neurology department of Alzahra hospital, Isfahan, Iran, during winter to spring 2014, were equally randomized into three groups (two experimental and one control group, each group with 15 numbers). Eight training sessions were held for the experimental group of lifestyle training and the group of traditional medicine was visited and treated by a Traditional Medicine specialist. Symptoms of headache and migraine headache were assessed using the Najarian migraine scale through pre-test, post-test and 40-days-after follow-up phase. Findings: Lifestyle training intervention had a significant effect on the post-test scores of the migraine (P < 0.001). But these results were not significant at the follow-up phase. Traditional medicine did not have any significant effect in reducing the symptoms of migraine. In addition, among the demographic variables, age had negative correlation with symptoms of migraine, so that it reduced the symptoms of migraine. Conclusions: Life-style training could be used as a complementary therapy to alleviate the symptoms in migraine sufferers. It is recommended that future researches focus on other approaches to traditional medicine and its effectiveness will be measured in reducing migraine symptoms.
