Fitness News: How you can pedal away a migraine
Study shows that exercise reduces migraine suffering “While physical exercise has been shown to trigger migraine headaches among sufferers, a new study describes an exercise program that is well tolerated by patients. The findings show that the program decreased the frequency of headaches and improved quality of life. The study is published in Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain. The study used a sample of migraine sufferers who were examined before, during and after an aerobic exercise intervention. The program was based on indoor cycling (for continuous aerobic exercise) and was designed to improve maximal oxygen uptake without worsening the patients' migraines.”

Migraines, Tension-Type Headaches Respond to Acupuncture "Acupuncture is at least as effective as prophylactic drugs for migraine and may also benefit some patients with frequent tension-type headache, 2 large reviews conclude. "The data suggest that in about half of patients, acupuncture decreases the frequency of migraine or frequent tension-type headache by about 50%, which is quite similar to other effective treatments for these disorders," lead reviewer Klaus Linde, MD, from the Center for Complementary Medicine Research at Munich Technical University, in Germany, told Medscape Psychiatry. "Compared with drug treatments, acupuncture has fewer side effects, although some patients are adverse to needle insertion," he added. Perhaps surprisingly, the reviews found similar benefits in migraine patients from true acupuncture and sham acupuncture, where needles were placed in incorrect locations or did not penetrate the skin, suggesting needle placement is not critical for these patients."
