Migraine headaches are reduced by massage therapy.
International Journal of Neuroscience, 96, 1-11.
Twenty-six adults with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to a wait-list control group or to a massage therapy group, who received two 30-minute massages per week for five consecutive weeks. The massage therapy subjects reported fewer distress symptoms, less pain, more headache free days, fewer sleep disturbances, and they showed an increase in serotonin levels
Every person who has headaches or Migraine disease should be told about medication overuse headaches (MOH), aka rebound headaches, by our doctors because knowing about it in advance could save us a great deal of pain. Unfortunately, we're not. If your doctor hasn't told you about the potential of your medications to cause MOH, ask about it.

ReplyDeleteMETHODS: This study examined the effects of massage therapy on chronic, nonmigraine headache. Four chronic tension headache sufferers (aged 18-55 yrs) received structured massage therapy treatment directed toward the neck and shoulder muscles during a 4-wk period. RESULTS: Massage therapy reduced the number of weekly headaches. Headache frequency was significantly reduced within the initial week of massage treatment, and continued for the remainder of the study. A trend toward reduction in average duration of each headache event between the baseline period and the treatment period was also observed.
