Prospective cohort study of routine exercise and headache outcomes among adults with episodic migraine

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain Mar 30, 2021

Hagan KK, Li W, Mostofsky E, et al. - Researchers undertook this secondary analysis among adults with episodic migraine (EM) to determine if and how routine exercise is related to headache frequency, intensity, and duration in this patient population. Data were used from a prospective cohort study of adults with EMs. Information regarding exercise, clinical and demographic features, and lifestyle behaviors was obtained at baseline. Findings revealed that 1.5 fewer headache days per month, though not statistically significant, were experienced by patients with EM who reported moderate‐vigorous exercise at least three times per week. This link was identified to be significantly stronger in patients who consumed preventive medication for migraines. Exercise seemed not to be related to the severity or duration of headaches. For improving headache burden in cases eligible for migraine prophylaxis, routine moderate‐vigorous exercise was suggested to be a likely essential adjunctive strategy.
