Active Comparator
Active Comparator
Dual task (active exercise and cognitive task)
active exercise only
Cognitive task trainig only
The dual task protocol is going to be in 15 one-hour sessions once a week in the headache free days. This protocol will be set up in the clinic of physiotherapy degree (University of Trieste in the Department of Medical, Surgical, and Health Sciences). The physical training tasks will be associated with concomitant cognitive tasks specifically relying on executive function. The goal is to engage the three core executive functions: inhibition (the ability to inhibit automated responses), working memory (the ability to hold, process, and manipulate information in mind) and shifting (the ability to change stimulus-response associations for performing an ongoing task). Patients will be exposed to different cognitive tasks during physical activity such as walking or running on the treadmill, indoor cycling and balance exercises. -
The active exercise only intervention is going to consist of aerobic and flexibility training with a targeted duration of 1 hour, twice per week for 3 months.
The Cognitive task training only engage the three core executive functions: inhibition (the ability to inhibit automated responses), working memory (the ability to hold, process, and manipulate information in mind) and shifting (the ability to change stimulus-response associations for performing an ongoing task).
