摘要

Purpose of Review

Evidence suggests a significant link between migraine and metabolic syndrome,, especially in those with chronic or refractory migraine. Weight loss and exercise may effectively prevent migraine. Here, we review the evidence behind exercise and weight loss as migraine treatments.

Recent Findings

While metabolic syndrome and pain have long had a known association, only recently have strong studies demonstrated a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome in people with migraine. Additionally, other sequelae of metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, hypercoagulability, and diabetes also interplay with migraine. New medications like GLP-1 agonists may be a potential treatment for migraine as well as obesity.

Summary

For patients with migraine, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, care should be taken when selecting prophylactic medications, favoring those without a propensity to induce weight gain. Additionally, there is strong evidence for weight loss and exercise for improving migraine outcomes.
