Managing MTBI-related Headaches With rTMS

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Persistent headache is one of the most common debilitating symptoms in military personnel suffering from mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). This study aims to assess the long-term effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in managing MTBI related headaches for up to 2-3 months by comparing the treatment effect of active-rTMS to sham-rTMS.

Comparison of the Effects of Mechanical Traction and Manual Traction on Cervicogenic Headache

Cervicogenic Headache

52 people between the ages of 18-45 who were diagnosed with cervicogenic headache by the physician who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of Bursa VM Medical Park Hospital will be included in the research. 52 people will be randomized. They will be divided into two groups, 26 people in the study group and 26 people in the control group. The study group will be called the mechanical traction group (CTG), and the control group will be called the manual traction group (MTG). After obtaining the demographic information of the individuals to be included in the study, the cases will be evaluated with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Mc-Gill Melzack Pain Questionnaire for head and neck pain before and after treatment. Cervical joint range of motion will be measured with an electrogoniometer, and muscle tone will be measured with myotonometer (MyotonPRO). Flexion and extension endurance tests will be performed on the cervical region muscles. Headache Impact Scale (HIT-6) will be performed to evaluate the functional status of the patients. Posture of patients will be evaluated with Corbin Posture Analysis. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used to evaluate the sleep quality of the patients. All patients will be informed about the study. An informed consent form will be obtained from each. The mechanical traction group (CTG) and the manual traction group (MTG) will be treated for 6 days and 2 weeks. Intermittent traction with chattanooga tru trac traction device will be applied to CTG, and manual traction, one of Cyriax's neck mobilization techniques, will be applied to MTG.transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), hotpack and ultrasound will be applied to both groups, and an exercise program will be given in the form of a home program.

Effects of a Multispecies Probiotic on Migraine

MigraineIrritable Bowel Syndrome2 more

The prevalence of migraine is higher in female patients with various intestinal diseases. An explanation could be that migraine is caused by a leaky gut, defined by increased intestinal permeability that permits particles to pass through the gastrointestinal wall. Probiotics, may be able to improve intestinal barrier function. OBJECTIVE: To test whether probiotics, as adjucnt therapy, can reduce incidence and severity of migraine attacks by reducing intestinal permeability.

Hamstring Active Release Technique in Cervicogenic Headache

Cervicogenic Headache

It has been suggested that the suboccipital muscles are a causative factor in both cervicogenic neck pain and headache. Hamstrings and sub-occipital muscles are connected by a neural system and sub-occipital muscles pass through the dura Mater. Increased tension and shortening of the hamstring's muscles can cause neck and shoulder pain. In addition, when the muscles around the neck are tensed, the muscles in the limbs are also tensed, so that if the tone of the hamstring muscles is decreased, SLR test score increased, and the tone of the sub-occipital muscles is reduced. Active release technique is found to have an effect on hamstring flexibility.

Vitamin K2 Supplementation in Adult Episodic Migraine

Migraine HeadacheArterial Stiffness1 more

Migraine is a debilitating illness and a major cause of disability in the world. It is highly prevalent, especially among women. Vitamin supplementation is a potential therapeutic option for migraines that remains largely under-explored. Several studies have shown that people with migraine tend to have higher arterial stiffness than people without migraine. Vitamin K2 deficiency is an important mediator of arterial stiffness and calcification due to decreased carboxylation of matrix Gla protein (MGP). Supplementation reverses these changes and improves vascular health in patients with end stage renal disease according to previous studies. Therefore, vitamin K2 supplementation could serve a potential role in migraine patients. The purpose of the study is to test the effect of vitamin K2 on decreasing the frequency of migraine attacks and decreasing arterial stiffness. The population will be recruited from the neurology clinic at LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital and will constitute of adult patients. They will be randomized to receive either the supplement of vitamin K2 or a placebo for the duration of 6 months. Laboratory tests and arterial stiffness measurements will be done at the beginning, middle, and at the end of the study for comparison.

Assessing the Impact of Exercise Based Intensive Interdisciplinary Pain Treatment (IIPT) on Endogenous...

Chronic Pain SyndromeFibromyalgia3 more

This work will answer two critical questions: 1) Does intensive interdisciplinary pain treatment (IIPT) involving aerobic exercise help normalize pain processing in youth with chronic pain syndromes and 2) Are aerobic fitness levels and the ability to modulate pain inter-related? Currently, medications are ineffective for improving pain and disability in youth with chronic pain syndromes and identifying non-pharmacologic treatments, such as IIPT, that help strengthen the nervous system's ability to modulate or turn pain signals down will improve outcomes and quality of life for youth suffering from chronic pain. This study will help determine whether exercise based IIPT leads to physiologic improvements in how pain is processed, specifically if youth with chronic pain can better turn pain down during the offset analgesia test after an exercise based IIPT treatment, and also help elucidate the link between a child's aerobic fitness and their ability to modulate pain.
