Cervical Mobility in Women With Migraine

Abstract

Contrasted to controls, individuals with episodic and TM have decreased cervical range of motion.

“…flexion test, (Zito et al 2006;Jull et al 2007), the flexion-rotation test, (Ogince et al 2007;Hall et al 2008), active range of cervical movement (Van Suijlekom et al 2000;Fernández-de-LasPeñas et al 2006b;Zito et al 2006;Jull et al 2007;Bevilaqua-Grossi et al 2009), head forward position, (Watson and Trott 1993;Fernández-de-Las-Peñas et al 2006b;Zito et al 2006), reproduction and resolution of headache symptoms, (Watson and Trott 1993), and trigger point palpation (Fernández-de-Las-Peñas et al 2006b). Information or data presented to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of physical examination tests for headache populations is restricted to the flexion-rotation test (Ogince et al 2007;Hall et al 2008), manual joint palpation (Zito et al 2006;Jull et al 2007), range of cervical movement (Zito et al 2006), and the craniocervical flexion test (Zito et al 2006).…”

An Exploratory Study to Determine the Relationship between Cervical Dysfunction and Perimenstrual Migraines

“…Because neck movements usually worsen migraine pain, people with migraine may show a degree of kinesiophobic behaviour; participants in the migraine group may have voluntarily restricted full movement through the cervical range as a pain avoidance technique. 56 This behaviour may also be reinforced as a learned protective pattern of movement.…”

Concordância e confiabilidade de dois métodos não-invasivos para a avaliação da amplitude de movimento cervical em adultos jovens

“…The limitations of cervical Range of Movements (ROM) may indicate musculoskeletal disorders, neck pain resulting from trauma or idiopathic 8,9 , headaches 8,[10][11][12] or some dysfunctions in the temporo-mandibular joints and masticatory muscles [12][13][14] . During the analysis of ROM, one should consider the existence of natural variations between individuals, as well as factors which influence this variability, such as gender, age and the nature of movements,either passive or active 1 .…”
