Treatment of Cervical Pain in Chronic Migraine

NCT03453203 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chronic migraine (CM) is defined as a headache that occurs more than 15 days per month, which has the features of migraine headache on at least 8 days per month.1 The cause of CM is not well understood. Many patients with CM appear to have associated musculoskeletal neck pain. The purpose of this study is to treat cervicalgia in patients with migraine and to look for improvement in migraine frequency and intensity. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can diagnose and treat common musculoskeletal dysfunction. This may break facilitation within the nervous system and reduce musculoskeletal pain which subsequently will reduce headache frequency. This will be a randomized controlled trail comparing patients with CM treated with OMT vs no treatment. The investigators will look at the frequency of migraine days before and after the treatment period to determine migraine frequency and improvement.
