Abstract

Migraine is a chronic disease characterized by intermittent attacks of headache and associated symptoms. It is a disease that affects around 12 to 15% of the general population, most of them being women. The quality of life of these individuals is compromised, causing a major impact on physical, mental and social for those who suffer from migraine. One method of treatment that seems to be effective in relieving the symptoms of menstrual migraine is auricular therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with migraine related to the menstrual period who underwent auricular therapy. To this end, sessions were held in patients previously selected and implemented the survey of quality of life SF-36 on three different occasions. Before the first session, sixty days after the start of treatment and a third evaluation, ninety days after the beginning of treatment. The results showed that from eight individuals, seven had a general improvement in their quality of life. It follows that the treatment with auricular therapy was effective for improving quality of life of women with migraine related to menstruation.
