    Abstract

    Exercise, as a method of migraine management has been discussed theoretically and tested empirically. The consensus is that exercise can help to reduce the frequency, intensity and/or duration of migraine attacks. Conversely, there are case studies which, with few exceptions, suggest that periods of exercise can precipitate a migraine headache. The literature concurs, however, that one should not attempt exercise when in the midst of an attack. The present article presents a case study of a woman who found prompt relief from her migraines with strenuous exercise.
