TREATMENTS FOR MIGRAINE: MEDS & CHIROPRACTIC & MORE
What do migraine sufferers do about their migraine? They turn to medications. Meds are first line treatment options while around 50% of migraine sufferers are now trying complementary and integrative medicine. One set of researchers has organized a research project studying the chiropractic care of migraine as migraine and musculoskeletal tension and pain often occur together. They called their study the “Integrative Migraine Pain Alleviation through Chiropractic Therapy (IMPACT).” (1) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC looks forward to their findings as they plan to assess multimodal chiropractic care plus usual care and usual care alone for adult women with episodic migraine.
MIGRAINE TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Non-pharmacological interventions for migraine are customary. To determine if an intervention is “clinically meaningful,” researchers look for a 50% reduction in headaches. A group of researchers who looked at many published studies suggested that associated symptoms and fear of attacks would also be appropriate outcome measures along with the 50% reduction in migraines. They also said that the degree of effectiveness for non-pharmacological interventions – especially used with medication – should be lower if helpful. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is pleased to play a role in our La Grande migraine sufferers’ healthcare team for migraine relief. The 50% Rule has governed the outcomes of Cox Technic.
CHIROPRACTIC APPROACH TO MIGRAINE
Chiropractic is known for its approach to musculoskeletal pain and its relief. Since research suggested that musculoskeletal tension may play a role in migraine, chiropractic may have a role in its relief. Researchers gathered details from several randomized control trials of spinal manipulation for migraine relief. Treatment with spinal manipulation varied from 2 to 6 months. Preliminarily, spinal manipulation was found to be an effective therapeutic treatment to reduce migraine days and migraine intensity and pain. (3) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC uses very gentle spinal manipulation from the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management to reduce pain and ease any migraine-related musculoskeletal pain issues.
