The examination included Migraine Disability Assessment, 12-item Allodynia Symptom Checklist, a flexion rotation test, Craniocervical Flexion Test.Migraine-related disability was reported more than 80% both groups (p 0.82). However, there greater prevalence...

Migraine patients have musculoskeletal disorders and pain in the cervical. And, despite pathophysiology demonstrating relationship between migraine cervical spine, effectiveness of craniocervical exercises these has not been verified. So, aimed this study was verify muscle-strengthening exercise (CMSE) reducing frequency intensity headache patients. METHODS: A two-armed, parallel-group randomized controlled trial with a 3-month follow-up performed. For eight weeks, volunteers intervention...

Objectives This cross‐sectional study investigated potential differences in cervical musculature groups of migraine headaches vs. non‐headache controls. Differences muscle strength and antagonist coactivation during maximal isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC) were analyzed between individuals with subjects relationships force neck pain clinical aspects. Method A customized hand‐held dynamometer was used to assess flexion, extension, bilateral lateral flexion episodic ( n =31), chronic =...

Objective To determine whether migraine interferes with health‐related quality of life ( HRQL ) and the degree disability caused by this condition in daily children both genders aged 6‐12 years. Background Migraine is a chronic disease recurrent symptoms that lead to reduction activity during crises intercritical periods, an impact on . Methods The sample consisted 50 without aura being treated at childhood headache outpatient clinic (study group) no history selected pediatric (control...

The role of musculoskeletal disorders the cervical spine in migraine is under debate.To investigate differences impairments neck including active global and upper mobility, presence symptomatic joints, cervicocephalic kinesthesia head/neck posture between women with episodic migraine, chronic controls.A cross-sectional study.Tertiary university-based hospital.Fifty-five 16 22 matched healthy women.Active range motion, mobility (i.e., flexion-rotation test), referred pain from (joint position...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate cutaneous allodynia among patients with chronic and episodic migraine in a tertiary headache clinic. Methods 80 subjects were assessed hospital. The 12-item Allodynia Symptom Checklist/Brazil questionnaire was applied to classify according the presence severity of allodynia. Results Cutaneous identified 81.3% group 92.5% (p = 0.03). No increased association could be attributed when adjusted by years disease (PR 1.12; 95%CI 0.99 1.27; p 0.06). groups also did...

The aim of this study was to assess kinesiophobia in patients with migraine and determine its association correlation cutaneous allodynia clinical manifestations migraine.A cross-sectional study.A headache clinic a university-based hospital.Eighty-nine diagnosed by neurologist specialized headache.Patients completed the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) 12-item Allodynia Symptom Checklist (ASC-12) described frequency, duration, intensity attacks, as well number years migraine.The...

To assess the presence and handicap due to vestibular symptoms in three subgroups of patients with migraine controls.Women between 18-55 years old were diagnosed by headache specialists stratified as aura (n = 60), without chronic 60) controls 60). Information regarding demographics, collected this cross-sectional study. The self-perceived related was assessed through Dizziness Handicap Inventory questionnaire.A total 85% women had contrasted 70% group ( p < 0.05), 12% control reported...

This study examined the effect of GMP in two models depression mice. The immobility times forced swimming test (FST) and tail suspension (TST) were significantly reduced by (dose range: 5–50 mg/kg 5–100 mg/kg, i.p., respectively), without accompanying changes ambulation an open-field. I.c.v. injection (320-480 nmol/site) also FST affecting ambulation. mice treated with MK-801 (0.01 mg/kg) + (50 was not different from result obtained or alone, but (or MK-801) imipramine (15 treatment induced...

Migraine and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are reported to be associated. However, there no reports on the association among migraines, TMDs changes in body posture.To assess posture women suffering migraines with or without TMD compared a control group.Sixty-six mean age of 18 45 years participated this study. The groups were composed 22 volunteers migraine (MTMD), (MG) group (CG). Static was assessed by photogrammetry, 19 angles measured.Postural asymmetry observed face for 4 measured...

To investigate the relationship between presence of active trigger points (TrPs), craniocervical posture, and clinical features (frequency, intensity, duration) in patients with migraine.A cross-sectional study.Fifty migraine (90% women; age, 34.1 years) participated. Clinical data regarding were obtained. Trigger bilaterally explored following muscles: masseter, suboccipital, temporalis (anterior, medium, posterior fibers), sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius, splenius capitis. Eight...

Since there was no Portuguese questionnaire to evaluate cutaneous allodynia, which has been pointed out as a risk factor of migraine, we aimed perform the cross-cultural adaptation 12 item Allodynia Symptom Checklist for Brazilian population and test its measurement properties. It consisted in six stages: translation, synthesis, back revision by specialist committee, pretest submission documents committee. In stage, applied 30 migraineurs both sexes, who had some difficulty understanding it....

Background Migraine, especially migraine with aura ( MA ), appears to be a risk factor for ischemic lesions in the posterior fossa. The clinical relevance of is uncertain. Accordingly, herein, we identified individuals , without MO and (controls) order investigate their balance mobility. Methods Participants were selected among patients seen an outpatient headache clinic. Controls had no history headache. Balance was assessed by measuring oscillation area using force plates mobility T imed U...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain is a subjective symptom which may be measured by means of its several features, such as intensity, quality, location, duration and impact on daily activities. Due to the lack better classify symptoms, studies have used intensity only evaluation measurement. To develop other types research it was necessary development new tools identify measure remaining domains pain. This review aimed at describing analyzing available for neuropathic pain diagnosis evaluation....

The objective this study was to assess in different subgroups patients.One hundred five subjects diagnosed according ICHD-III were recruited study. They uniformly distributed among three groups: aura, without chronic migraine. Thirty-five controls also Balance assessed all via modified Sensory Organization...
