The main objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide a series of recommendations for healthcare and exercise professionals, such as neurologists, physical therapists, and exercise physiologists, regarding exercise prescription for patients with migraine.This guideline was developed following the methodology and procedures recommended in the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE). The quality of evidence and strength of recommendations were evaluated with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). A systematic literature review was performed and an established appraisal process was employed to rate the quality of relevant scientific research (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology).The evaluation of the current evidence, the elaboration of the grades of recommendation, and their validation show a B grade of recommendation for aerobic exercise, moderate-continuous aerobic exercise, yoga, and exercise and lifestyle recommendations for the improvement of symptoms, disability, and quality of life in patients with migraine. Relaxation techniques, high-intensity interval training, low-intensity continuous aerobic exercise, exercise and relaxation techniques, Tai Chi, and resistance exercise obtained a C grade of recommendation for the improvement of migraine symptoms and disability.

“…The actual VNS group that was adherent did report fewer HA days. Consistent with the idea that interventions that target ANS flexibility may be useful, in a recent meta-analysis [62], Wu et al concluded that despite limitations in methodology, "Yoga therapy may benefit to reduce the headache frequency of migraine patients" (p. 147). One study [63] comparing a Yoga intervention to care as usual found not only reduced symptoms in the Yoga group but improved vagal tone.…”

Purpose of Review In this review, the role of the autonomic nervous system in tension-type headache and migraine is reviewed. Recent Findings A pathophysiological model for tension-type headache is proposed that is compatible with most physiological and behavioral literature. Summary A treatment protocol is described that follows from this model. For migraine, incorporating autonomic factors into the pathophysiology offers rationales for behavioral interventions that have been shown to be useful in migraine treatment and a biofeedback protocol is proposed.

“…Our article search strategy and selection process are shown in the flow diagram (Figure 1). The included studies were 1 umbrella review and meta-meta-analysis [33], 6 systematic reviews and meta-analyses [11,[34][35][36][37][38], 28 randomized controlled trials , 4 cohorts [67-70], 1 case series [71], and 19 narrative reviews [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90]. The methodological quality and risk of bias assessment for each study are shown in Tables 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, and in Figures 2, 3, and 4.…”

The main objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide a series of recommendations for healthcare and exercise professionals, such as neurologists, physical therapists, and conditioning coaches, regarding exercise prescription for patients with migraine. This guideline was developed following the methodology and procedures recommended in the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE). The quality of evidence and strength of recommendations were evaluated with the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN). A systematic literature review was performed and an established appraisal process was employed to rate the quality of relevant scientific research (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology).
