Comparison of Craniosacral Therapy and Myofacial Relaxation Techniques in People Diagnosed With Migraine

Summary

Headache is a neurological condition that is very common all over the world and is observed at some time in life in more than 90% of society. Migraine headache, known for thousands of years, is one of the oldest diseases of humanity. The word 'hemicrania', meaning 'half of a head', is used due to unilateral pain. Approaches to treating migraine include medication, relaxation, biofeedback, living a regular life, adequate sleep, exercise, and stress management. Neck pain is especially common in migraine patients. Exercise, manual practices, electrop novelties are used to reduce musculoskeletal problems, thus reducing the effects of migraine. Myofascial relaxation techniques, which are included in the manipulative techniques in the literature, are relaxation methods performed on myofascial trigger points.Osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) , which has recently entered the literature, 19. osteopathy, developed by Andrew Taylor STILL at the end of the century, is a treatment system characterized by focusing on integrity and using it by hand to heal diseases.The study of cranial OMM kraniyum first anatomical and physiological mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of disease as a whole is concerned with the relationship of the body, including diagnostic and therapeutic methods.It is used in the treatment of somatic dysfunction of the head and other body parts. An important component of cranial Omm is the primary respiratory mechanism, which occurs as movement of the head bones, sacrum, dural membranes, central nervous system and cerebrospinal fluid. The primary respiratory mechanism is synchronous with the cranial rhythmic impulse, a 2-phase rhythmic cycle that represents a dynamic metabolic exchange with each stage of the body. This cycle is indicated as loops between 7 and 14 per minute.Fascial mobilization therapy increases energy use in segments implemented by mechanical changes.Accordingly, it helps to reduce the spasm of these layers extending fascially, to dissolve adhesions, and to increase the range of motion of the joint.

H0: Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy has no effect on migraine symptoms. H1: Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy has an effect on migraine symptoms. H2: myofascial relaxation techniques have no effect on migraine symptoms. H3: methods of Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy have an effect on migraine symptoms.

H4: myofascial relaxation techniques and osteopathic manipulative treatment methods have no superiority over each other.

H5: myofascial relaxation techniques and osteopathic manipulative treatment methods have superiority over each other.

Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy

75 individuals will be included in our study, including 3 groups: control group (N= 25), osteopathic manipulative technique (n= 25), myofascial relaxation group (n=25). Which group of individuals will be determined by randomizing them with closed envelope method. Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy and myofascial relaxation treatment applications will be applied 2 days a week, for periods of 30 min for 4 weeks.
