• Study Type: observational

Brief Summary

This study examines cervical joint position sense in individuals with chronic migraine vs. healthy controls. The ability to reposition the cervical spine after active movement will be evaluated in different head positions. Impaired proprioception and motor control is hypothesized in the migraine group.

Conditions

Migraine; Chronic Migraine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Cervical Joint Repositioning Error Assessment

  The cervical joint repositioning error assessment is a non-invasive diagnostic test used to measure the ability of an individual to accurately reproduce a specific head position in different orientations (flexion, neutral position, 50% range of motion of left rotation, and 50% range of motion of right rotation). Participants in both the chronic migraine group and the control group will undergo this assessment using a digital inclinometer.The primary outcome of this study is the difference between the initial and repositioned cervical joint angles, measured in degrees.

  Baseline

Study Arms (2)

Chronic Migraine Group

This group consists of 25 individuals diagnosed with chronic migraine. They will undergo cervical joint repositioning error assessment in different head positions.

Diagnostic Test: Cervical Joint Repositioning Error Assessment

Control Group

This group consists of 25 age-matched healthy controls without a history of migraine. They will undergo the same cervical joint repositioning error assessment in different head positions.

Diagnostic Test: Cervical Joint Repositioning Error Assessment
