Abstract in brief

The systematic review and meta-analysis examined how yoga affects people with different types of headaches, especially tension-type headaches and migraines, and found that yoga significantly reduces headache frequency, duration, and pain intensity mainly in tension-type headache sufferers.
The study included data from randomized controlled trials up to 2019, comparing yoga to usual care or other treatments, and used statistical measures to confirm that yoga has a short-term beneficial effect on headache symptoms.
However, the review highlighted that more research is needed, especially to understand yoga's effects on migraines, as current results mainly support its benefits for tension-type headaches, despite some limitations in the existing studies.]
