Physicians are recommended to include interventions targeting behavioural change as behavioural factors could affect the symptoms and disability in people with episodic migraine.

As per the recent study published in Current Pain and Headache Reports journal, a significant association was found between the behavioural patterns of a person and episodic migraine attacks.

Out of various types of migraine, episodic migraine is persistent. It is the type of migraine which involve 0 to 14 migraine attacks per month. But how an individual behaviour triggers or intensifies an episodic migraine is still under review. Lauren Rosenberg and colleagues conducted a review to examine what kinds of health behaviours increased migraine-related outcomes.

The onset of migraine attacks was found to be associated with perceived stress and stressful circumstances. The poor sleep and fatigue also affected headache frequency, related disability and the onset of migraine attacks. The rate of migraine attacks was also influenced by consistency in day-to-day events like exercise, hydration levels, eating or sleeping.

By targeting and changing these behaviour patterns, episodic migraine can be managed. However, it is a huge challenge to change behaviour and therefore, should be done under multidisciplinary team supervision. Further research is required to evaluate particular behaviour change approaches and its effect upon low and high-frequency episodic migraine.
