Chiropractic Management of a Migraine With Aura in a 28-Year-Old Female Using a Multimodal Approach: A Case Report
Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this report was to describe a chiropractic multimodal treatment approach for a patient with a migraine headache.
Clinical Features
A 28-year-old woman with a 14-year history of migraines presented with symptoms of visual disturbances with head and neck pain.
Intervention and Outcome
A multimodal approach of chiropractic care, including chiropractic manipulative therapy and soft tissue therapy for suboccipital, levator scapula, and trapezius muscles, was used. Treatment included 2 visits that were spaced 2 days apart. Based on patient-reported symptoms, the clinician observed clinical improvement and no additional migraine symptoms. Seven months after the initiation of chiropractic care, the patient reported no migraine episodes.
Conclusion
A nonpharmacologic chiropractic approach employing multiple therapies resulted in observable clinical progress for a patient who reported migraine with aura symptoms.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
