About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical effects of multi-segmental spinal manual therapy on pain intensity, central sensitization, and sensorimotor control in women diagnosed with episodic migraine.
Participants receive 10 sessions of a comprehensive manual therapy intervention targeting the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions over a 2-week period. Clinical outcomes-including headache pain intensity, sensorimotor dysfunction, headache-related disability, and cutaneous allodynia-are evaluated at baseline, immediately after the 2-week treatment, and at a 1-month follow-up.
This study aims to investigate whether addressing multiple spinal segments with manual therapy improves clinical symptoms, spinal motor control, and central pain processing in female individuals with episodic migraine.
