MDPI Medicina, Special Issue: Impact of Exercise and Physical Therapy on Quality of Life in People with Migraine

[Yann04]

Dear Colleagues,

Migraine presents significant public health burden. This condition presents central nervous system (CNS) disorder affecting nerves and blood vessels. Previously it was stated that migraine presents risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Persons with migraine can have multiple benefits from physical therapy along with medicamentous treatment, including musculoskeletal malfunctions improvements particularly in cranial and cervical regions, decrease in pain during the attack temporarily and improve vestibular symptoms. The importance of exercise for individuals with migraine is significant, since it was stressed that moderate exercise might have an influence on migraine frequency reduction as well as its severity. However, people with migraine usually report the physical activity as a potential trigger for attack, thus reducing such activity.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present advances and innovations in exercise impact on migraine prevention and improvement of symptoms as well as the role of physical therapy in migraine course that would lead to the improvement of overall quality of life in these individuals.

Evidence-based medicine in a nutshell: health care professionals want this to be true, but patients report that it's not, so they recommend it.

Why bother with reality when you can just make stuff and never look back?

Was randomly thinking how it's the norm for disabling conditions that medicine doesn't know how to reliably treat to be dismissive of "waiting for a pill to cure it", when it's literally the very best case scenario, barring eradication.

A single pill curing cancer? Would be worth multiple Nobel prizes.
The same with literally every deadly disease.

But for disabling conditions? Bah. Instead it has to be this jumble mess of Rube Goldberg rituals that don't work with zero plausible mechanisms and even less evidence.

Even though for migraines it would obviously be the best case scenario, every single physician would be ecstatic if they had that. But until then they ridicule the idea as some pointless long-shot. Make it make sense. Why are people so freaking weird?!
