A randomized controlled trial of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy for migraine. Objective: To assess the efficacy of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (Chiropractic Adjustment) in the treatment of migraine. Design: A randomized controlled trial of 6 months’ duration. The trial consisted of 3 stages: 2 months of data collection (before treatment), 2 months of treatment, and a further 2 months of data collection (after treatment). Comparison of outcomes to the initial baseline factors was made at the end of the 6 months for both an SMT group and a control group. Setting: Chiropractic Research Center of Macquarie University. Participants: One hundred twenty-seven volunteers between the ages of 10 and 70 years were recruited through media advertising. The diagnosis of migraine was made on the basis of the International Headache Society standard, with a minimum of at least one migraine per month. Treatment they Received Two months of chiropractic care determined by the practitioner (maximum of 16 treatments). Results: Participants completed standard headache diaries during the entire trial noting the frequency, intensity (visual analogue score), duration, disability, associated symptoms, and use of medication for each migraine episode. The average response of the treatment group (n = 83) showed statistically significant improvement in migraine frequency (P <.005), duration (P <.01), disability (P <.05), and medication use (P <.001) when compared with the control group (n = 40). Four persons failed to complete the trial because of a variety of causes, including change in residence, a motor vehicle accident, and increased migraine frequency. Expressed in other terms, 22% of participants reported more than a 90% reduction of migraines asa consequence of the 2 months of SMT. Approximately 50% more participants reported significant improvement in the morbidity of each episode. Conclusion: The results of this study support previous results showing that some people report significant improvement in migraines after chiropractic care. A high percentage (over 80%) of participants reported stress as a major factor for their migraines. It appears probable that chiropractic care has an effect on the physical conditions related to stress and that in these people the effects of the migraine are reduced.

Headaches are classified as primary or secondary. Primary headaches aren’t associated with any other health disorder. The actual headache is the primary health condition. Secondary headaches are attributable to another health condition or illness. They can be caused by infectious diseases, brain tumors, drugs, or a lot of other things. The most commonly seen types of primary headaches involve tension-type headache, migraine headache, and sinus headache. Primary headache types are a great deal more common than secondary types which are hardly ever experienced. If decreasing migraine headaches is your objective, there are many valuable migraine headache treatment approaches that are safe and natural don’t require using possibly unsafe or addictive painkillers. And, it might be good to realize that there are no painkillers that will prevent the next headache.

Tension headache stands out as the most common type of headache and migraine headache is the next most frequent. The migraine headache disorder normally starts between the age of puberty up to early adulthood. However, migraine headaches can happen at nearly any age of life from young childhood to the twilight years of someone’s life. If it happens in kids it is normally experienced in girls and boys in identical percentages. After the age of puberty it is seen in women three times more frequently than men. It also tends to happen in the same family. A young child is much more apt to be subjected to migraine headaches when a parent, sibling, or aunt or uncle suffers with migraines.
