Summary

This study looked at whether adding progressive muscle relaxation to aerobic exercise helps people with migraine more than exercise alone. 44 adults with migraine were split into two groups: one did both exercise and relaxation, the other did only exercise. Researchers measured pain, disability, quality of life, mood, and walking ability to see if the combination offered extra relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
aerobic exercise and progressive muscle relaxation training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce migraine pain and improve daily life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits of relaxation added to exercise may be modest.
