Filter by:This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique In pain intensity, frequency of headache, medication Uptake, Suboccipital movement in flexion and extension, rounded shoulder, forward head posture and proprioception of cervical spine in cases of cervicogenic headache related to trigger points and myofascial restrictions when combined with conventional physical therapy modalities.
Background: Migraine is a very common neurobiological disorder caused by increased excitability of the Central Nervous System. It is among the causes of the highest morbidity worldwide. Migraine has considerable economic and social impact ; affects the quality of life of patients and disrupts work life, social activities and family life. To decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks may be the first goal than treating the attacks. The study was designed as a Parallel Group, Add on, Randomized Controlled Experiment in order to observe the effects of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches, frequency and severity. Methods: Participants will be divided into 2 parallel arms, intervention and control (treatment as usual). Cluster randomization will be performed to prevent intergroup contamination. Breathing techniques will be taught to the intervention group by the researcher. Both groups will continue to use pharmacotherapy for migraine. Both groups will be evaluated with migraine disability level (MIDAS) at the beginning and end of the study. The primary output of the study is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the frequency and severity of attacks in migraine-like headaches. The secondary output is to evaluate the effect of breathing techniques on the MIDAS level. Discussion: The results of the study will provide information about the effect of breathing techniques on migraine-like headaches. The results of this study will contribute to the literature, since migraine is among the chronic diseases and pharmacotherapy options are limited.
Tension-type headache is a widespread disorder, with a lifetime prevalence in the general population ranging between 30% and 78%. Tension-type headache also places a financial burden on society and individuals. Myofascial pain can reduce the range of motion and patterns of muscle activation and play an important role in tension-type headache. Based on the previous studies, dry needling can reduce local and referred pain, increase range of motion and improve patterns of muscle activation in patients with myofascial pain syndrome. The effectiveness of dry needling in patients with tension-type headache is not fully known. Objective: The aim of this study will be to investigate the effectiveness of dry needling on pain, active range of motion, functional disability, and frequency of headache in patients with episodic tension-type headache. Method: This study will be a double-blind randomized controlled trial. Thirty-six patients with episodic tension-type headache will be randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (dry needling and routine physical therapy) and the control group (sham dry needling and routine physical therapy). The primary outcomes will be pain intensity and active range of motion of the craniocervical region. Functional disability and frequency of headache will be considered secondary outcomes. Outcomes will be assessed before and one week after the intervention.
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of LSD 25μg every 3 days for 3 weeks versus placebo in the treatment of chronic cluster headache (cCH). It is a 3-week double-blind placebo-controlled intervention study, preceded by a 4-week baseline observation period and followed by a 5-week post-treatment observation period. Primary objective: to evaluate the efficacy of LSD 25μg every 3 days for 3 weeks in cCH. Additional objectives: - To evaluate the safety of LSD 25μg every 3 days for 3 weeks in cCH. - To explore the exposure-response relationship of 25μg LSD in cCH. - To assess the effect of treatment with 25μg LSD on hypothalamic functional connectivity in patients with cCH, using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsMRI). - To explore cost-effectiveness of treatment with LSD in cCH. - To evaluate the efficacy of LSD on health-related quality of life.
the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Dry Needling Versus Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization In the Patient With Cervicogenic Treatment Headache
It is unknown if applying superficial dry needling to the trigeminal innervation field improves pain and disability for patients with cervicogenic headaches. The aim of this study is to determine if superficial dry needling of the trigeminal innervation field improves pain, neck mobility, and disability in patients with cervicogenic headaches. It will also be examined if psychosocial factors such as stress, anxiety, depression and self efficacy influence improvements in pain, range of motion and neck disability.
In individuals diagnosed with migraine, laughter yoga will be performed for 45 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month. the other application group will watch funny videos for 45 minutes, 3 times a week for 1 month.
According to the study of the burden of diseases in 2018, tension-type headache(TTH) is the most common type of primary headache and ranks third in terms of prevalence among 328 diseases and injuries in 195 countries from 1990 to 2016. Suffering from this disorder (especially chronic type) reduces the quality of life of patients. The main objective of this study is to compare the effects of myofascial release of suboccipital muscles as a bottom-up intervention and Deep Neck Flexor(DNF) exercises with Pressure Biofeedback Unit(PBU) as a top-down intervention on headache parameters, the intensity of Forward Head Posture(FHP), disability, quality of life, and suboccipital Pressure Pain Threshold(PPT) in patients with chronic tension-type headache with forward head posture.
The aim of our study is to investigate the Turkish validity and reliability of The Henry Ford Hospital Headache Disability Questionnaire (HDI), which has not been previously studied in a Turkish version for any headache type in patients with cervicogenic headache.
It is planned to include 10000 patients. In the China HeadAche DIsorders RegiStry CHAIRS）, patients aged over 12 years with primary headache and medication-overuse headache(MOH) were collected. The biomarkers, imaging features, cognition, genetic characteristics, ocial and demographic data, medical data, therapeutics used, and outcome of headache-related diseases were studied, and long-term follow-up was planned.
