EXErcise in MIGraine
Sponsor: Centro Universitario Ricerca Interdipartimentale Attivita' Motoria
Summary
The study project aims to implement therapeutic patient education for migraine, promoting improvement in outpatient clinical practice by providing counseling moments specifically dedicated to known health risk factors (sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity, unhealthy eating habits), thanks to the integration of the skills of Neurology Specialists and those of CURIAMo.
Official title: Study of the Effects of a Multidisciplinary Intervention -Including Physical Exercise- in People With High-frequency Episodic Migraine and Chronic Migraine

Interventions
exercise program supervised by specialized kinesiologists
The duration of the program is 12 weeks, with 2 sessions per week of mixed activities (aerobic exercises + muscle strengthening exercises). Each session lasts about 60 minutes, including a warm-up phase, a central phase and a cool-down phase. In particular, for aerobic exercises, the central phase involves the use of various ergometers (e.g. treadmill and cycle ergometer) and a moderate intensity of training (55-69% of Heart Rate Reserve), while for muscle strengthening exercises will be administered bodyweight exercises, with small tools (e.g. elastic bands, medicine ball, etc.) or with isotonic machines (e.g. lat machines and leg presses), with an initial work intensity of 45-50% of One Repetition Maximum.
Standard neurological visit at the Headache Centre
Participants will be invited to participate a: 1. \- specialist visit at the Headache Centre; 2. a - anthropometric, metabolic, and dietary assessment; 2b - self-administered (via a digital, online, form divided into four parts) and researcher-administered questionnaires; 2c - kinesiological assessment of functional capacities (aerobic capacity, muscle strength and flexibility); 2d - complete postural evaluation (divided into objective, instrumental, functional and neuromotor examination); 2e - traditional/complete gnathological evaluation, according to international diagnostic criteria.
