Abstract
We examined 47 migrainous patients: migraine without aura (4 male, 12 female), migraine with aura (1 male, 2 female), migraine in combination with tension-type headache (2 male, 26 female). 17 patients had active muscle trigger points in pericranial and neck muscles. The pressure of these points caused typical headache. 26 patients had active muscle trigger points in pericranial and neck muscles and the pressure of these points didn’t cause typical headache. The treatment of muscle trigger points resulted in frequency reduction and burden of migraine attacks to 50% and more of 32 patients. Authors recommend providing myofascial examination in migrainous patients and treating trigger points if they are found.
