Purpose Of Review:
To describe the most recent findings related to lifestyle behaviors and migraine.
Recent Findings:
An individualized conceptualization of how lifestyle factors impact migraine activity has increased our understanding of the role of behavioral interventions for episodic migraine. Healthy diets of several types have been associated with migraine attack reduction, whereas disruptions in diet like skipping meals are associated with migraine attack onset. Both aerobic activity and lower intensity yoga interventions show promise for migraine prevention. Sleep disruption has been associated with migraine day and may have a bi-directional relationship. Both increases and decreases in stress have been associated with migraine activity. Evidence is converging around the principle that highly unusual disruptions in daily routine are particularly associated with migraine attack onset and that a consistent healthy lifestyle is a key feature of effective behavioral migraine prevention strategies.
