Biobehavioral Physical Therapy Strategies Based on Therapeutic Exercise Applied to Chronic Migraine Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Therapeutic patient education, Therapeutic exercise, and 2 other interventions for Chronic Migraine and Chronic Headache. Completed, enrolled 86 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to know wich combination of treatments are the most effective in patients with chronic migraine. The study design is a simple blind randomized controlled trial (outcomes assessor). The study population: Men and women aged from 18 to 70 years old with chronic migraine for at least 12 weeks. Interventions: A combination of techniques during 6 weeks (6 sessions; 1 per week)
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Therapeutic patient education based on pain physiology from a biobehavioral perspective adding a training in coping strategies.
Therapeutic exercise consist on stretch of cervical-scapular muscles ( Trapezius and angular of the scapula), Cranium-cervical flexor stabilization exercise, auto cervical tractions, shoulders rotation, low intensity exercise ( walking), craniocervical extension, cervical flexion and extension.
No intervention consist on measure the whole variables in chronic migraine patients to compare it with experimental interventions
Manual therapy consist on ; oscillatory traction , maintained craniocervical traction, upper cervical flexion mobilization, side glide roll, anterior-posterior upper cervical mobilization with wedge, lateral glide at the C1-C2 and C2-C3 levels, retraction technique, trigeminocervical neural mobilization , and upper cervical traction, followed by posterior-anterior glide at C4.
