Neck Active Movements Assessment in Women with Episodic and Chronic Migraine
We aimed to compare movement parameters and muscle activity during active cervical spine movements between women with episodic or chronic migraine and asymptomatic control. We also assessed the correlations between cervical movement measures with neck-related disability and kinesiophobia. Women with...

We also assessed the correlations between cervical movement measures with neck-related disability and kinesiophobia. Women with episodic (<i>n</i> = 27; EM) or chronic (<i>n</i> = 27; CM) migraine and headache-free controls (<i>n</i> = 27; CG) performed active cervical movements. Cervical range of motion, angular velocity, and percentage of muscular activation were calculated in a blinded fashion. Compared to CG, the EM and CM groups presented a reduced total range of motion (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Reduced mean angular velocity of cervical movement was also observed in both EM and CM compared to CG (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Total cervical range of motion and mean angular velocity showed weak correlations with disability (r = −0.25 and −0.30, respectively; <i>p</i> < 0.05) and weak-to-moderate correlations with kinesiophobia (r = −0.30 and −0.40, respectively; <i>p</i> < 0.05). No significant correlation was observed between headache features and total cervical range of motion or mean angular velocity (<i>p</i> > 0.05). No differences in the percentage of activation of both flexors and extensors cervical muscles during active neck movements were seen (<i>p</i> > 0.05). In conclusion, episodic and chronic migraines were associated with less mobility and less velocity of neck movements, without differences within muscle activity. Neck disability and kinesiophobia are negative and weakly associated with cervical movement.https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/10/17/3805headachecervical spinemotionchronic painmusculoskeletal pain |
