Comparative Effects of Theragun Percussion Therapy and Compression Therapy on Pain, Neck Range of Motion and Quality of Life in The Patients With Migraine

In Group A, Patients will receive Theragun Percussion therapy along with routine Physical Therapy Treatment. The range of motion of lateral flexion and forward flexion will take by using a bubble inclinometer. Then the patient will place in a sitting position with the shoulder area exposed. Percussion therapy by using the Theragun device will give by a specific order. Treatment will start with the percussion head applied at the origin and insertion heads of the trapezius, Rhomboid and scalene muscle for 3-4 minutes each. Following this the percussive Theragun applicator will applied with circular strokes along the length of the muscle for 3 minutes. The pressure of application will adjust to the subject's tolerance.

In Group B, Compression therapy will be administered to the patients by migraine relief gel cap for 25 minutes during migraine attacks. The cap will store in a freezer (15-18°C). At the onset of the migraine attacks, patients wore the cap and used it. We will choose 25 minutes as the time for application of the gel cap based on the results of two published studies.(23) Headache severity will measured by Visual Analogue Scale and pain relief will measured on a similar scale. Analgesic treatment will not take within 25 minutes after the onset of cold therapy. If patients did not experience adequate relief from the headache, we will allow them to use analgesics 25 minutes after the onset of cold therapy. The routine physical treatment will be same as in group A.
