Mapping of physical activity habits and kinesiophobia in a group of people with migraine
(2020)Human Movement: health and rehabilitation
- Abstract
- Background: Migraine is a common headache disorder often aggravated by physical activity. Due to the triggering feature of physical exercise, and it frequently leading to kinesiophobia, migraine patients are known to be less physically active. However, physical exercise may be used as a prophylactic migraine treatment option. Aim: The aim of this study was to map out physical activity habits and kinesiophobia in relation to migraine in a group of people with migraine. Methods: An electronic cross-sectional questionnaire was used as method. The questionnaire was based on specific questions on physical activity in relation to migraine, as well as on the indicator questions on physical activity from The Swedish National Board of Health and...

Aim: The aim of this study was to map out physical activity habits and kinesiophobia in relation to migraine in a group of people with migraine. Methods: An electronic cross-sectional questionnaire was used as method. The questionnaire was based on specific questions on physical activity in relation to migraine, as well as on the indicator questions on physical activity from The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare and The Swedish version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-SV). A total of 205 people with migraine participated and were included in the study. Results: The majority of participants had experienced physical activity to trigger a migraine attack. High intensity aerobic training was perceived as the most triggering type of physical exercise and low intensity aerobic training the least. The results also showed that the prevalence of kinesiophobia in the group was 62% and thus in agreement with previous
studies on the subject. Conclusions: The results from the current study sample were in agreement with previous studies regarding physical activity triggers and prevalence of kinesiophobia among people with migraine. The majority had experiences physical activity to trigger a migraine attack and especially high intensity aerobic training was perceived as triggering. Kinesiophobia was
prevalent in over half of the study sample. Further studies are required in order to map out experiences of physical activity in people with migraine in general. (Less)
