Brief Summary

Migraine is a common episodic headache disorder accompanied by neurological, gastrointestinal and autonomic changes.Migraine symptoms have a wide range, neck pain is seen in most migraine attacks, and accompanying neck pain is considered one of the important factors that increase migraine-related disability. It has been shown that various physical therapy methods applied to migraine patients with cervical myofascial pain reduce migraine pain and analgesic needs. One of the methods used in myofascial pain syndrome is kinesio taping and the effectiveness of cervical area applications has been shown in different studies.In this study, it was planned to examine the effect of kinesio taping applied to cervical trigger points on migraine symptoms in migraine patients.
