Key clinical point: A combined manual therapeutic approach that included soft-tissue and articulatory manual therapy techniques was more effective in reducing migraine impact than either technique alone.
Major finding: After 4 weeks of intervention, the improvement in pain intensity was greater with combined soft-tissue and articulatory manual therapy vs only soft-tissue (P < .001) or articulatory (P = .014) manual therapy. Reduction in migraine duration was significant with combined vs soft-tissue therapy (P = .02), with improvements maintained through a 4-week follow-up. No serious side-effects were reported.
Study details: Findings are from a randomized controlled trial including 75 patients with chronic or episodic migraine who were randomly assigned to receive soft-tissue therapy, articulatory therapy, or combination of both manual therapies.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any external funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
