Summary

Migraine is a prevalent neurological disorder associated with pain, fatigue, and reduced physical function. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to examine the effects of a personalized and structured physiotherapy program-including cervical spine stabilization exercises, vestibular rehabilitation, and pain neuroscience education-on pain intensity, fatigue, and functional outcomes in individuals with migraine. Participants will be randomly allocated to an intervention group receiving personalized physiotherapy or a control group receiving standard physiotherapy care. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Personalized Structured Physiotherapy Intervention

The manual therapy will include component, applied according to individual patient needs to reduce pain, improve mobility, and modulate neuromuscular control. The cervical spine stabilization exercises will target deep neck flexors and cervical postural muscles to improve neuromuscular control, endurance, and motor coordination. The vestibular rehabilitation component will include gaze stabilization, habituation, and balance exercises tailored to migraine-related vestibular symptoms. The PNE program will consist of structured individual education sessions focusing on pain neurobiology, central sensitization, and self-management strategies. Participants will attend supervised physiotherapy sessions twice weekly for 8 weeks, complemented by a personalized home exercise program. All components will be delivered by a licensed physiotherapist.

OTHER

Standard Treatment

Participants continue routine care including medications prescribed by their physician. Only two 40-minute Pain Neuroscience Education sessions over 8 weeks. No physiotherapy or exercise intervention provided.
