Cervical Repositioning Error in Chronic Migraine

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.

Treatment and study plan

Cervical Joint Repositioning Error Assessment

Diagnostic Test

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.
