Exercise plus relaxation may lessen migraine pain

Austrian researchers found that when 15 migraine sufferers added an exercise-and-relaxation routine to their usual care, the patients reported an improvement in migraine pain intensity over six weeks.

The findings, reported in the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, add to evidence that exercise may offer some relief from migraine pain.
