Summary
Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise can help manage migraine frequency. This review supports integrating these factors into better migraine forecasting models for improved prediction accuracy.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Preventive Medicine
Background:
- Migraine forecasting models require enhanced predictive accuracy.
- Understanding lifestyle factors is crucial for improving migraine attack prediction.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of lifestyle factors on migraine frequency in adults with episodic migraine.
- To inform the development of effective migraine forecasting models.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of studies published 2018-2023.
- Searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Scopus following PRISMA guidelines.
- Appraised 36 studies using Joanna Briggs Institute tools, focusing on diet, exercise, sleep, and stress.
Main Results:
- Dietary habits, supplements, and physical activity showed consistent effects on migraine frequency.
- Trends in stress management and sleep were noted but require further investigation.
- Evidence supports lifestyle modifications for migraine management and forecasting.
Conclusions:
- Lifestyle modifications are vital for migraine management.
- Specific dietary interventions and physical activity are key predictors.
- Further research on sleep and stress is needed for comprehensive migraine forecasting.
