The study was planned and conducted as a randomized controlled experiment. The sample of the randomized controlled trial consisted of 70 patients who applied to the emergency department with a migraine attack and met the study criteria. Data were collected via Patient Information Form, 24-Hour Migraine Quality of Life Scale, Visual Analogue Scale, Sphygmomanometer, and Pulse oximeter. Along with the medical treatment, patients of experimental group were massaged for 15 minutes with an aromatic oil mixture (lavender and peppermint) applied on the temple and root of the neck, and this application continued for three weeks. Control group patients, however, received only medical treatment. Descriptive statistics methods, Shapiro Wilks test, Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test, Mann Whitney U Test, Kruskal Wallis Test, Fisher's Exact Test and Chi-Square Test were used for data evaluation.
