The Effects of Cervical Stabilization Exercise Training With Telerehabilitation in Individuals With Migraine

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

Study Overview

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Conditions: Migraine
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Cervical Stabilization Exercise; Other: Standard treatment

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.
