Efficacy of various exercise interventions for migraine treatment: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Very low-quality evidence showed that yoga, high- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercises were the best interventions for reducing migraine frequency and intensity; high- and moderate-intensity aerobic exercises were best for decreasing migraine duration; and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise was best for diminishing disability.PMID:38597252 | DOI:10.1111/head.14696 (Source: Headache)

Reconceptualizing autonomic function testing in migraine: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsInterictal ANS dysfunction can be identified in migraine patients when compared to healthy controls. These findings indicate the importance to evaluate ANS function in migraine patients - especially, as migraine-specific prophylactic therapies (such as anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibodies) may affect the function of the ANS.

Evaluation and Treatment of Patients with Small Posterior Cranial Fossa and Chiari Malformation, Types 0 and 1
Adv Tech Stand Neurosurg. 2024;50:307-334. doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-53578-9_11.ABSTRACTThe diagnosis of Chiari I malformation is straightforward in patients with typical signs and symptoms of Chiari I malformation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirming ≥5 mm of cerebellar tonsillar ectopia, with or without a syrinx. However, in many cases, Chiari I malformation is discovered incidentally on MRI to evaluate global headache, cervical radiculopathy, or other conditions. In those cases, the clinician must consider if cerebellar tonsillar ectopia is related to the presenting symptoms. Surgical decompression of the cere...
