Aerobic Exercise
for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Regular moderate aerobic exercise 3 times per week for migraine prevention. Studies show comparable effectiveness to some preventive medications. Start gradually — intense exercise can trigger attacks in some people initially.
How it works
Regular aerobic exercise increases endorphin and serotonin levels, reduces physiological stress responses, and may improve hypothalamic regulation. It also addresses comorbid anxiety and depression, which worsen migraine frequency.
What to watch for
Exercise during acute flares with significant joint swelling should be modified — avoid loaded exercise on acutely inflamed joints. Water-based exercise and cycling are preferred. Supervised by physiotherapist initially.
