Summary

This cross-sectional study aims to compare muscle function of the neck, and shoulder and muscle tenderness in three groups of headache patients: migraine, tension-type headache, and posttraumatic headache. The study will evaluate muscle tenderness through the Total Tenderness Score (TTS) and muscle function through maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and rate of force development (RFD). Additionally, functional assessments such as the Cranio-Cervical Flexion Test (CCFT) and Ito Test will be performed.

Conditions

  • Migraine
  • Tension Headache
  • Posttraumatic Headache

Interventions

DEVICE

Muscle function

Functional evaluation First, the patients will fill the Fysisk Aktivitet Questionnaire, the o Klinisk Oral Fysiologi (KU) Questionnaire and the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire. Then, the evaluator will applicate the Total Tenderness Score (TTS) for evaluating their tenderness in different spots of the head and neck regions. The next evaluation comprehends the evaluation of the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) for the different neck movements and the rate of force development (RFD) of the shoulder elevation. After this, patients will perform the cranio-cervical flexion test (CCFT), and, finally, the Ito test to evaluate the lumbar endurance.
