Abbreviations: Monthly Headache Days = MHD; NRS = Numerical Rating Scale; MIDAS = Migraine Disability Assessment Scale; BAI = Beck Anxiety Inventory; BDI = Beck Depression Inventory; PSQI = Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.
Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation for continuous variables (age, MHD, NRS, MIDAS, weekly exercise duration, BAI, BDI, and PSQI) and n (percentage) for categorical variables (sex, preventive medication usage, and exercise habit). P-values represent comparisons between good and poor sleep quality groups using independent t-tests for continuous variables and Chi-square or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables, with *indicating statistical significance (p < 0.05).
