Migraine Sufferers Have Altered Muscle Performance

A new study has found that individuals with chronic migraines exhibit altered neck muscle performance, take longer to reach to maximum strength with some neck movements , and have higher co-activation of neck flexor muscles when bending forward at the neck. These findings add to the growing body of research that dysfunction in the neck may play some role in the presence, frequency, and intensity of migraine headaches.
