High-Intensity Interval Training and Progressive Muscle Relaxation as a Movement-Based Group Intervention for the Non-Pharmacological Prevention of Adolescent Migraine (MigraFit)
High-Intensity Interval Training and Progressive Muscle Relaxation as a Movement-Based Group Intervention for the Non-Pharmacological Prevention of Adolescent Migraine: A Controlled Pilot Study
Background: The prevalence of migraine during adolescence is 7.7%, affecting 9.7% of girls and 6.0% of boys. Despite its high prevalence, treatment options remain limited. Insufficient treatment may increase the risk of headache chronification or the development of medication-overuse headache. In Tyrol, 21.7% of children and adolescents with chronic headache exhibit medication overuse.
To improve the care of adolescents with migraine, a regularly scheduled, professionally supervised group intervention could be of considerable value. Physical exercise and relaxation techniques are already recommended in guidelines for migraine management. Although there is a substantial body of evidence regarding the effectiveness of these non-pharmacological preventive approaches in adults, findings remain heterogeneous, making it difficult to reliably estimate their true effect. Evidence in children and adolescents is still scarce.
Methods: We hypothesize that a combination of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) may provide a particularly effective non-pharmacological preventive approach. In addition, the psychosocial benefits of exercising together represent an important component of the intervention, which is therefore delivered in a group setting.
Although patients are routinely advised during medical consultations to increase their level of physical activity, implementing this recommendation in everyday life can be challenging for many adolescents. A supervised, on-site group intervention may help increase motivation and adherence.
Discussion: If the intervention results in a significant reduction in migraine attack frequency and migraine-related burden, the findings could provide a basis for securing financial support to establish the program as a long-term extension of care for adolescents with migraine. Such an intervention could sustainably reduce the burden of migraine and may therefore be of considerable relevance to real-world clinical care.

Degree of migraine-related impairment using the mean change in the PedMIDAS questionnaire´s total score
Временное ограничение: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
|
Migraine-related disability was assessed using the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment (PedMIDAS) questionnaire (total score range: 0-276). Higher scores indicate greater migraine-related disability (worse outcome). The outcome parameter was the mean change from baseline in the PedMIDAS total score. |
