Internet Addiction (IA) is one of the important public health challenges worldwide, which i

nvolves overuse or excessive use of internet resulting in various physical and psychological symptoms including headache. It is a common problem, especially in adolescence and young adulthood, and studies have associated both prolonged screen time and problematic internet use with increased headache frequency and severity. These IA induced headaches are usually the result of digital eye strain, bad posture and muscle tension.

Considering the significant burden of IA and headache, effective interventions are clearly required. Bhramari Pranayama: a yogic practice of breathing with a humming sound during exhalation may be a potentially effective non-pharmacological intervention. This practice is also known for its calming and de-stressing effects, increasing parasympathetic activity (the body’s "rest and digest" system), decreasing sympathetic dominance (the body’s "fight or flight" part of the nervous system) and combatting stress- a leading trigger of headaches.
