Not Applicable
Conditions
Migraine
Interventions
Other: Standard treatment
Other: Cervical Stabilization Exercise
Registration Number
NCT05202171
Lead Sponsor
Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University
Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of cervical stabilization exercise training applied with telerehabilitation in individuals with migraine.

Detailed Description

Cervical muscles are adversely affected in individuals with migraine. It is important to investigate the effects of cervical muscle training in these individuals. Telerehabilitation applications have been used frequently in many patients in recent years. It is necessary to examine the effects of cervical stabilization exercises applied with telerehabilitation in individuals with migraine.
