Efficacy of biofeedback for migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Migraine, a severe headache accompanied by nausea, photophobia and phonophobia, can be controlled with pharmacological as well as non-pharmacological therapies. In biofeedback, patients learn to voluntarily modify their bodily reactions through feedback mediated awareness of physiological parameters, thus promoting relaxation, reducing stress and preventing migraine attacks. We aim to assess the efficacy of biofeedback on adult patients with migraine.

Posttraumatic stress disorder and associated factors in the aftermath of the 2015 earthquake in Nepal: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

We aimed to estimate the pooled incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder among survivors after the 2015 earthquake in Nepal based on available literature and highlight the psychological effects of natural disasters that can hamper the recovery process in the aftermath of disaster. The study protocol was registered on PROSPERO with reference number CRD42024576444. Electronic databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for observational studies in English that assessed posttraumatic stress disorder at least 1 month after the earthquake via a validated tool from April 2015 to August 2024.
