Abstract

Migraine is a common neurological disorder that is characterized by a host of symptoms including severe throbbing headaches. In this retrospective chart review, the effectiveness of Cortical Integrative Therapy (PedroCIT®) was examined in adults with migraines. Multivariate General Linear Model (M-GLM) was utilized to determine if the emotional, functional, and overall difficulties, as well as the intensity of pain experienced with headaches decreased from before to after PedroCIT® treatment in individuals with mild to complete disability resulting from headaches. Repeated Measures General Linear Model (RM-GLM) was also used to investigate if postural stability increased from pre- to post-treatment. The results of the M-GLM showed that PedroCIT® was effective in reducing emotional, functional, overall disability, and intensity of pain resulting from headaches. Furthermore, RM-GLM indicated that patients who underwent PedroCIT® improved their postural stability from pre- to post-treatment. Finally, the findings also showed that the duration of the treatment did not have any effect among patients with varied degrees of headache disability. This study illustrates the effectiveness of PedroCIT® in the treatment of headaches and postural instability in migraine patients.
