The aim of this article is to cross-sectionally compare objectively measured physical activity (PA) levels and their association with migraine characteristics in obese women without migraine.Obese seeking weight loss treatment were divided into (n = 25) control groups matched by age body mass index (BMI). Participants wore the SenseWear Armband monitor for seven days evaluate daily light-(LPA) moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA). Migraine diagnosis was confirmed a neurologist using...

Pain acceptance involves willingness to experience pain and engaging in valued activities while is present. Though could limit both headache-related disability interference individuals with migraine, few studies have addressed this issue. This study evaluated whether higher levels of total its two subcomponents, activity engagement, were associated lower impairment women who had migraine overweight/obesity. In cross-sectional study, participants seeking weight loss headache relief the...

Background Migraine is a neurological disease involving recurrent attacks of moderate-to-severe and disabling head pain. Worsening pain with routine physical activity during principal migraine symptom; however, the frequency, individual consistency, correlates this symptom are unknown. Given potential to undermine participation in daily activity, an effective prevention strategy, further research warranted. This study first prospectively evaluate (a) frequency consistency activity-related...

Background While pain intensity during migraine headache attacks is known to be a determinant of interference with daily activities, no study has evaluated: (a) the intensity-interference association in real-time on per-headache basis, (b) multiple domains, and (c) factors that modify association.
