This pilot study hopes to show that after 3 months of Kiko training, Kiko naive patients with migraine will have a decrease in the frequency and severity of their migraines.
3.1 Study Design Eligible subjects in this pilot study will be taught a series of Kiko exercises. Subjects who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria at the screening visit will be given a diary in which they will document their migraine frequency and severity for one month. Once subject diaries are complete, subjects will meet for a group lesson to learn the background of Kiko and study exercises. A DVD or videotape will be issued for subjects to use during practice at home. Subjects will maintain a diary of their migraine headaches, as well as a diary of their exercise routines. Subjects will meet weekly to reinforce training and encourage training continuation. Diaries will be collected at the end of the first, second, and third months.
