Comparison of Craniosacral Therapy and Myofacial Relaxation Techniques in People Diagnosed With Migraine
Condition: Migraine Disorders
MeSH terms: Migraine Disorders
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Headache is a neurological condition that is very common all over the world and is observed
      at some time in life in more than 90% of society. Migraine headache, known for thousands of
      years, is one of the oldest diseases of humanity. The word 'hemicrania', meaning 'half of a
      head', is used due to unilateral pain. Approaches to treating migraine include medication,
      relaxation, biofeedback, living a regular life, adequate sleep, exercise, and stress
      management. Neck pain is especially common in migraine patients. Exercise, manual practices,
      electrop novelties are used to reduce musculoskeletal problems, thus reducing the effects of
      migraine. Myofascial relaxation techniques, which are included in the manipulative techniques
      in the literature, are relaxation methods performed on myofascial trigger points.Osteopathic
      manual therapy (OMT) , which has recently entered the literature, 19. osteopathy, developed
      by Andrew Taylor STILL at the end of the century, is a treatment system characterized by
      focusing on integrity and using it by hand to heal diseases.The study of cranial OMM kraniyum
      first anatomical and physiological mechanisms for the prevention and treatment of disease as
      a whole is concerned with the relationship of the body, including diagnostic and therapeutic
      methods.It is used in the treatment of somatic dysfunction of the head and other body parts.
      An important component of cranial Omm is the primary respiratory mechanism, which occurs as
      movement of the head bones, sacrum, dural membranes, central nervous system and cerebrospinal
      fluid. The primary respiratory mechanism is synchronous with the cranial rhythmic impulse, a
      2-phase rhythmic cycle that represents a dynamic metabolic exchange with each stage of the
      body. This cycle is indicated as loops between 7 and 14 per minute.Fascial mobilization
      therapy increases energy use in segments implemented by mechanical changes.Accordingly, it
      helps to reduce the spasm of these layers extending fascially, to dissolve adhesions, and to
      increase the range of motion of the joint.

      H0: Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy has no effect on migraine symptoms. H1: Osteopathic
      Manipulative Therapy has an effect on migraine symptoms. H2: myofascial relaxation techniques
      have no effect on migraine symptoms. H3: methods of Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy have an
      effect on migraine symptoms.

      H4: myofascial relaxation techniques and osteopathic manipulative treatment methods have no
      superiority over each other.

      H5: myofascial relaxation techniques and osteopathic manipulative treatment methods have
      superiority over each other.
