Cervical muscular endurance performance in women with and without migraine
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy Mar 31, 2019
Florencio LL, et al. - In this Cross-sectional, controlled laboratory study, authors quantified the variations in neck flexor and extensor muscle endurance between females with (n=26) and without (n=26) migraine. They reported a lower holding time for both neck extensor endurance and neck flexor endurance in individuals with migraine vs the controls. They recorded 35.0 s, the median neck flexor holding time for the migraine group in comparison to 60.5 s for the control group. They found that the migraine group maintained the neck extensor endurance test position for a median of 166.5 s when compared to 290.5 s for the control group. They noted a similar level of neck pain during the endurance tests in both groups. Although, candidates in the migraine group listed pain in the head only, during testing.
