Muscular Hyperalgesia in Young Adults with Migraine Is Associated with Headache Attacks.

This article, published in the journal Neuropediatrics, explores the association between migraine and muscular hyperalgesia in young adults. The study focuses on the myofascial involvement of neck muscles and uses point-of-care measures like algometry and ultrasound to assess alterations in the upper trapezius muscle (UTM) in migraine patients compared to healthy controls. The results show that migraine patients have a higher frequency and duration of neck pain and lower pressure pain thresholds above the UTM. The study suggests that assessing muscular involvement in headache patients is important for treatment and monitoring. [Extracted from the article]
