Abstract

Background: An updated systematic review of cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction in migraine and tension-type headache is needed. Influencing factors (pain hypersensitivity with cervical musculoskeletal testing, active trigger points and tenderness) have not been investigated.

Objectives: To i) update evidence for cervical musculoskeletal impairments in migraine and tension-type headache ii) report on accompanying pain associated with testing, active trigger points and tenderness in headache; iii) determine relationships between these sensitivity features and cervical musculoskeletal impairments in headache.

Methods: Five databases were searched for observational studies. Quality of studies was assessed with JBI Critical Appraisal. Meta-analysis was performed using random effect models. Certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE.

Results: Seventy-seven studies were included comprising 2551 participants. New findings in migraine were increased forward head posture in standing (MD = -2.51°[-4.94°, -0.09°]), reduced flexion/rotation range (MD = -9.47°[-15.78°, -3.16°]), reduced flexor strength (Std. MD = -0.34[-0.57, -0.10]) and endurance (MD = -14.37[-28.15, -0.58]), and reduced extensor strength (Std. MD = -0.34[-0.60, -0.08]) in migraine. Tension-type headache had reduced extensor strength (Std. MD = -0.45[-0.85, -0.04]). Certainty was very low for all findings due to heterogeneity and small effect size. Active trigger points and tenderness were common, particularly, in chronic headache. A negative relationship between cervical musculoskeletal performance and active trigger points and tenderness was found in 2 from 77 studies (r < - 0.47).

Conclusions: Several cervical musculoskeletal impairments are present in migraine and tension-type headache with very low certainty. Caution is needed since few studies considered factors that would influence testing.

期刊介绍： Musculoskeletal Science & Practice, international journal of musculoskeletal physiotherapy, is a peer-reviewed international journal (previously Manual Therapy), publishing high quality original research, review and Masterclass articles that contribute to improving the clinical understanding of appropriate care processes for musculoskeletal disorders. The journal publishes articles that influence or add to the body of evidence on diagnostic and therapeutic processes, patient centered care, guidelines for musculoskeletal therapeutics and theoretical models that support developments in assessment, diagnosis, clinical reasoning and interventions.
