Protocol summary

Summary
This study aimed to investigate the effect of smaller amounts of weight loss in different ways (surgery and diet plus exercise) on intensity, duration and frequency of migraine headaches in obese patients. Of people with migraine and overweight or obese referred to Sina hospital (Hasan Abad Avenue, TUMS, Tehran, Iran) weight loss clinic, 54 patients will be included in this clinical trial study. The characteristics of headache in 54 patients (27 in each of the bariateric surgery group or diet therapy and exercise group) with migraine and morbid obesity (BMI 35 to 93.9 range with co-morbidities or BMI> =40) for 4 weeks before surgery and at the end of the first, and sixth month of the intervention will be examined by trained physicians. In addition, a headache diary form will be fulfilled by the subjects for 4 weeks prospectively. Also, details of diet and exercise after surgery will be obtained using 3 days dietary recall and International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ) at baseline and at the end of the first and sixth months after beginning the intervention. The treatment procedure will be started after 4 weeks of baseline examination. Inclusion criteria for patients in the study were as follows having more than 15 headache days per month for at least 3 months; avoiding the use of migraine prophylactic drugs in the last 4 weeks; lack of advanced disease including kidney, heart and liver disease; the absence of major depression and psychotic disorders; suffering from morbid obesity (BMI 35 range to 39/9 with co-morbidities or BMI> =40). The exclusion criteria were as follows: lack of adherence to diet and exercise to more than 70%; pregnancy; unwillingness to cooperate in the study. The main objectives of this trial: the effect of weight loss through bariatric surgery on severity of migraine headache(using VAS), frequency and duration of migraine at one, and six months after the intervention. The effect of weight loss through diet therapy and exercise on severity of migraine headache(using VAS), frequency and duration of migraine at one, and six months after the intervention.

Description
Bariatric Surgery This trial will be conducted on morbid obese patients referred to Sina hospital weight loss clinic after obtaining a written consent. According to the guidelines in the treatment of obesity, bariatric surgery as a treatment is recommended in patients with morbid obesity (a body mass index of 35 to 39.9 with comorbidities or BMI> =40) . Routinely, the morbid obese patients in our obesity clinic are refereed to a laparoscopic surgeon after examining their diet, physical activity and other measures as well as their willingness for bariatric surgery. headache charcteristics including severity (which is obtained using VAS), frequency and duration will be determined at baseline and during the study. Also to assess dietary habits and physical activity levels of patients before surgery, three days of 24 hour dietary recall and IPAQ will be used. After surgery, low-energy diet (600-800 kcal) with 70 grams of protein and 1.8 liters of fluid per day is recommended. The dietary prescriptions for morbid obese patients who underwent surgery will be as follows: For the first day or so after surgery,and second day after the surgery: clear liquid diet, from the third day by the end of the second week: concentrated liquid, mashed and semi-solid in the third and fourth week: semi-solid diet from the end of the fourth week onward solid diet will be prescribed to patients. exercise recommendations will be given to all patients who are undergoing surgery .

Description
Diet therapy and exerciseobese patients who suffered from migraine and having a BMI level between 35 to 39.9 as well as morbid obese patients who are not willing to undergo for the surgery, will be treated with diet therapy and exercise. These individuals will receive 6 months of dietary prescription with exercise recommendations.diet therapy will be started by subtracting 500 to 1000 kcal from the current energy intakes of the patient (50-55% from carbohydrates, 15-20% from protein, 30-35% from fat). The goal is achieving 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day. for achieving this goal, the patient will be asked to have a regular moderate-intensity aerobic activity for 10 minutes a day and gradually increase it to 30 minutes per day.
