The Role of Positive Health Behaviors in the Relationship Between Early Life Stress and Migraine.

Stressors experienced early in life are associated with migraine, and physical activity may ameliorate this relationship, particularly for those with exposure to a minimal level of early life stress. A higher dose of physical activity may yield greater benefit than a less intensive dose (ie, moderate activity level). However, the cross-sectional nature of this study precludes us from inferring causality, and future investigation requires prospectively collected data.
