Effect of Mechanism-Based Cervical Sensorimotor Rehabilitation on Cervical Muscle Activation, Joint Position Error, and Migraine Burden in Patients With Chronic Migraine: A Randomized Controlled Trial
To investigate the effectiveness of mechanism-based cervical sensorimotor rehabilitation on cervical muscle activation, cervical proprioception, and migraine burden.

Experiencing chronic migraine during the previous three months, confirmed through clinical history and/or headache diary; Presence of cervical sensorimotor impairment, demonstrated by at least one of the following:; Increased cervical joint position error. Reduced cervical range of motion. Impaired cervical motor control. Neck pain or cervical dysfunction associated with migraine.
Exclusion: • Diagnosis of headache disorders other than chronic migraine (e.g., cervicogenic headache, cluster headache, or medication-overuse headache); Previous cervical spine surgery, fracture, or significant cervical trauma. Cervical radiculopathy, myelopathy, or severe cervical spine pathology. Neurological disorders other than migraine (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease); Vestibular disorders affecting balance or proprioception.

Physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, or cervical rehabilitation within the previous 3 months; Botulinum toxin injections or cervical pain interventions within the previous 3-4 months; Changes in migraine preventive medication within the previous 4 weeks. Skin conditions preventing surface EMG electrode placement. Inability to comply with the study protocol or provide informed consent.
