The presence of aura is not related to changes in the cervical performance and mobility of patients with migraine

Migraine may be associated with neck impairment and migraine chronicity is related to greater disability. However, whether other subclassifications of migraine, such as aura, are currently unknown. The aim this study was assess the musculoskeletal aspects in patients without aura. Consecutive diagnosed were recruited from a tertiary headache clinic. divided into two groups according presence (MA, n = 37) absence aura (MoA, 88). self-report pain disability assessed using Neck Disability Index (NDI). underwent flexion rotation test (FRT) craniocervical (CCFT). There no association between (χ2: 1.32, p 0.25). No differences extent (MA: 10.73, SD: 6.22; MoA: 9.63, SD:8.13, 0.25) or severity (χ2 6.17, 0.10) found groups. FRT did not differ 35.07°, 7.90 34.60°, 8.70, t -0.22, 0.83) there positive 0.004, 0.56). difference also verified CCFT (U 1648.0, 0.89). disability, reduced upper cervical spine mobility muscle performance. level during clinical assessment expected.
