- <p>Purpose: To assess the effects of aerobic exercise (AE) on patients with migraine in <br>terms of pain intensity, frequency and duration of migraine, and quality of life.<br>Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials <br>were conducted. Standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for relevant outcomes and were pooled in a meta-analysis <br>using the random-effects model.<br>Results: A total of 10 articles from 1950 to 2019 were included, involving 508 patients. The meta-analysis showed statistically significant differences in the decrease <br>in pain intensity (five studies, n = 166; SMD = 1.25; 95% CI 0.47-2.04), frequency <br>(six studies, n = 214; SMD = 0.76; 95% CI 0.32-1.2) and duration of migraine (four <br>studies, n = 106; SMD = 0.41; 95% CI 0.03-0.8), in the short-term. In addition, the <br>meta-analysis showed statistically significant differences in the increase in quality of <br>life (four studies, n = 150; SMD = 2.7; 95% CI 1.17-4.24), even though the Egger's <br>test suggested significant evidence of publication bias for the analysis of quality of <br>life (intercept = 5.81; t = 6.97; P = .02).<br>Conclusions: There is low- and moderate-quality evidence that in patients with migraine AE can decrease the pain intensity, frequency and duration of migraine and <br>can also increase quality of life.</p>
