New study reveals safe exercise for migraine sufferers

Migraine on My Mind by Migraine Chick

ScienceDaily reports on a study from researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, who have developed an exercise program that can improve fitness among migraine sufferers without aggravating this painful condition.

The study is published in Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain.

"We know that everyone benefits from a little exercise, but if you're convinced that a session at the gym will end up with you being confined to bed with a thumping headache and nausea then it's hardly surprising that people give it a miss," says Jane Carlsson, Professor in Physiotherapy at the Sahlgrenska Academy.

 

 You should always heed the warning, "Talk to your doctor before starting any exercise program."  When it comes to exercise research, that is crucial advice.  Print out a copy of the research/report and take it with you the next time you go in to your MD.
