Regular exercise is recommended in general treatment guidelines for migraine. However, scientific evidence in support of this recommendation is weak. The majority of available trials on this topic do not meet modern requirements for randomized clinical trials. Often the diagnosis of migraine is not certain, the duration of treatment is too short, and the intervention is not clearly defined; furthermore, the control of treatment is insufficient. The study results are controversial regarding the efficiency of sports intervention in migraine. Regular exercises may have specific effects on the course of disease in migraine through increase of fitness or relaxing effects. It remains unclear whether exercise alone is efficient in migraine treatment or only as part of a more multidisciplinary program. Theoretical considerations, the available limited studies, and clinical experience suggest that exercise may have an effect on migraine, but the present knowledge does not fulfill the needs of evidence-based medicine. Future studies should adhere to the rules for randomized clinical trials in pharmacological migraine prophylaxis.

“…At the same time, it is suggested that an inactive or sedentary lifestyle is associated with low back pain complaints. Studies focusing on physical activity and low back pain indicate that the relationship between activity level and low back pain follows a U-shaped curve [11, 14, 15]. Many studies have shown that both too little and too much activity is harmful to spinal health [10, 11, 16–20], but the relationship between sports and spinal health has not been adequately clarified.…”

Prevalence of Back Pain in Sports: A Systematic Review of the Literature

2016

BackgroundBack pain is a frequent health problem in the general population. The epidemiology of back pain in the general population is well researched, but detailed data on the prevalence and risk factors of back pain in athletes are rare.ObjectiveThe primary objective was to review articles about back pain in athletes to provide an overview of its prevalence in different sports and compare its prevalence among various types of sports and the general population.Data SourcesA comprehensive search of articles published through May 2015 was conducted. Two independent reviewers searched six databases from inception (PubMed®, Embase, MEDLINE®, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO and PSYNDEX), using specifically developed search strategies, for relevant epidemiological research on back pain in 14- to 40-year-old athletes of Olympic disciplines. The reviewers independently evaluated the methodological quality of reviewed articles meeting the inclusion criteria to identify potential sources of bias. Relevant data were extracted from each study.ResultsForty-three articles were judged to meet the inclusion criteria and were included in the assessment of methodological quality. Of these, 25 were assessed to be of high quality. Lifetime prevalence and point prevalence were the most commonly researched episodes and the lower back was the most common localization of pain. In the high-quality studies, lifetime prevalence of low back pain in athletes was 1–94%, (highest prevalence in rowing and cross-country skiing), and point prevalence of low back pain was 18–65% (lowest prevalence in basketball and highest prevalence in rowing).ConclusionThe methodological heterogeneity of the included studies showed a wide range of prevalence rates and did not enable a detailed comparison of data among different sports, within one discipline, or versus the general population. Based on the results of this review, however, it seems obvious that back pain requires further study in some sports.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40279-016-0645-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…However, the development (or aetiology) of low back pain is poorly understood and the evidence of the contribution of physical activity to the prevalence, the prevention and management of low back pain is still inconclusive and poorly documented (1,6). Physical activity has been suggested to be both a possible risk factor (20,21,23,26) and a preventive factor (3,15,16,22,32,40) for LBP.…”

AIm: To investigate physical activity level in patients with chronic low back and neck pain. mAterIAl and methOds: 32 preoperative patients, 32 outpatients with low back or neck pain and 32 healthy controls were included in study. The physical activity level of the participants was evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The Oswestry Disability Index and Neck Pain Disability Index, Short Form-36, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Beck Depression Inventory were used for assessment of disability, quality of life, sleep quality and depression.results: Statistical significant differences was found in disability, sleep quality, depression, physical activity level and quality of life scores between three groups (p<0.05). All scores of preoperative patients were significantly lower than outpatients except sleep parameter (p<0.05). Sleep quality, disability and depression scores of patients with chronic neck pain were significantly lower and physical activity level and quality of life scores were significantly higher than patients' with chronic low back pain (p<0.05).COnClusIOn: Physical activity modification was found in patients with chronic low back and neck pain. Physical activity level, disability, sleep, depression and quality of life scores of preoperative patients with low back pain more affected than neck patients. BulGulAr: Gruplar arasında özürlülük, uyku kalitesi, depresyon, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi ve yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin alt parametrelerinde anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0,05). Preoperatif hastaların uyku kalitesi dışındaki tüm değerlendirme sonuçları ayaktan gelen hastalardan anlamlı ölçüde düşüktü (p<0,05). Boyun hastalarının uyku kalitesi, özürlülük ve depresyon skorları bel ağrılı hastalardan anlamlı ölçüde düşük, yaşam kalitesi ve fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri anlamlı ölçüde yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). sOnuÇ: Kronik bel ve boyun ağrılı hastaların fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinde değişiklikler bulunmuştur. Bel ağrısı olup operasyon planlanan hastaların boyun hastalarına göre fiziksel aktivite düzeyi, özürlülük, uyku, depresyon, yaşam kalitesi parametreleri daha fazla etkilenmiştir.
