Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Theragun Percussion therapy and Compression Therapy on pain, neck range of motion and quality of life in the patients with Migraine

Detailed Description

Migraine is a type of unilateral headache characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe pulsating pain which common symptoms include increased sensitivity to light, noise, nausea and vomiting. Mechanical scalp compression is the most commonly used for temporary relief of migraine pain that originates from dilated blood vessels in the scalp. Many percussive therapy devices are used for relax and soothe sore muscles as Theragun helps in instant relief migraine pain.

It will be a Single blinded randomized clinical trial. Non-probability convenience sampling technique will be used to recruit 56 participants of 18 to 50 years of age from Riphah Rehabilitation Care Centre and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore. The participants will be then randomly assigned into two equal groups through random number generation table. In Group A, Percussion Therapy will be applied by Theragun device for 25 minutes in each session along with Routine Physical Therapy Treatment for 20 minutes. In Group B, the Compression Therapy will be applied by migraine relief Gel Cap which works as Compression device for head for 25 minutes in each session along with Routine Physical Therapy Treatment for 20 minutes. The treatment will be given for 5 times per week for 6 weeks. Outcome measures for pre and post evaluation will be Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain assessment, Migraine Screening Quality of life Questionnaire (MS-Q) for quality of life, Neck Disability Index (NDI) for neck disability, Bubble Inclinometer for neck range of motion. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 24.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
GROUP B: COMPRESSION THERAPY AND ROUTINE PHYSICAL THERAPY	COMPRESSION THERAPY	Compression therapy will be administered to the patients by migraine relief gel cap for 25 minutes during migraine attacks along with Routine Physical Therapy Treatment for 20 minutes.
GROUP A: THERAGUN PERCUSSION THERAPY AND ROUTINE PHYSICAL THERAPY	THERAGUN PERCUSSION THERAPY	Patients will receive Theragun Percussion Therapy for 25 minutes along with Routine Physical Therapy Treatment for 20 minutes

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3)	6 weeks	Using ICHD-3 can aid first-visit patients by providing extended likely categories and removing the requirement for underlying cause disease remission before headache diagnosis. One of the ICHD-3 criteria for diagnosing migraines is; * the quality of the pulsating pain.; * Moderate to severe levels of pain; * Made worse by day-to-day ordinary activities

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Neck Disability Index (NDI)	6 weeks	The Neck Impairment Index is the most commonly used questionnaire to evaluate neck pain impairment (NDI) The NDI consists of ten questions: two ask about symptoms, the remaining question concerns concentration, and the other seven center on functional tasks. The 20-item test looks at four areas: activities of daily living, pain severity, emotion/cognition, and neck function. These categories show how a patient's neck pain condition affects their ability to operate both physically and emotionally
Migraine Screening Quality of Life Questionnaire (MS-Q)	6 weeks	The five-item migraine screen questionnaire, or MS-Q, was developed for use in research and clinical settings including occupational medicine and the general public as well as occupational medicine practitioners. The questionnaire is based on the diagnostic criteria for migraines published by the International Headache Society (IHS). This structured questionnaire consists of five items, each with a yes/no binary response option.; For every "NO" response, a score of 0 is given, and for every "YES" response, a score of; 1. A cut-off point of ≥4 indicates a migraine case and a total score of 5 indicates this.
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)	6 weeks	The VAS for attention was used to measure the participants' self-reported level of difficulty in maintaining focus. The participants were instructed to write a mark on the line that most accurately expressed their feelings regarding the challenge of paying attention.rating fron 0 to 10. 0 for no pain and 10 for worst pain.
