To determine the relationship among headache severity, head posture, cervical muscle endurance and neck disorders in individuals with migraine.
Headache is a general health problem that can be seen in different age groups, is common, depends on many factors, and has a lot of individual and socioeconomic effects. It is stated that the rate of individuals who experience a headache at least once in their lifetime is very high in the general population. Migraine is one of the most common types of primary headache. Neck pain and cervical dysfunctions in individuals with migraine have been the subject of many studies. It is seen that studies examining the relationship between cervical region musculoskeletal system disorders and headache in different types of headaches are increasing day by day. This study aims to determine the relationship among headache severity, head posture, cervical muscle endurance and neck disorders in individuals with migraine. In addition, the relationship between these parameters and quality of life will be examined.
1,528 studies on the registry are indexed under Migraine Disorders; 299 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 34 is below the median of 80 across 1,175 interventional studies indexed under Migraine Disorders.

Headache severity
Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) will be used to question individuals' headache. This test, which consists of 6 items, evaluates the problems that arise due to headache in a wide framework. It provides information based on the patient's self-report. The HIT-6 score ranges from 36 to 78 points. A higher score indicates more influence. Turkish validity and reliability study of HIT-6 was conducted.
Time frame: 1 day
Head posture
Head posture will be recorded in degrees (°) by measuring the horizontal plane and the angle between the seventh cervical vertebra (C7) and the ear with an electrogoniometer (BASELINE® goniometer, Digital Absolute+Axis, Fabrication Enterprises (White Plains, New York)). None of the individuals will be informed about the head position to avoid bias in the study.
Time frame: 1 day
Cervical muscle endurance
The endurance of the cervical muscles will be evaluated with the deep cervical flexor endurance test and the cervical extensor endurance test.
Time frame: 1 day
Neck disorders
Neck disorders will be assessed by the Bournemouth Questionnaire (BQ) in 2002. BQ consists of 7 questions in total. Each question scores between 0 and 10. Although the highest score is 70, a high score indicates a high level of disability. The content of the questionnaire consists of variables that must be questioned for individuals with neck pain, such as pain severity, the effect of pain on activities of daily living and social life, anxiety-depression level, kinesiophobia, and coping with pain. The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the BQ has been proven.
Time frame: 1 day
General quality of life
The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) is a general quality of life questionnaire that measures a person's perceived health problems and the extent to which these problems affect normal daily activities. The questionnaire consists of 38 items. Questions are answered as 'yes' or 'no'. The questionnaire assesses six parameters related to health status. These parameters are; pain (8 items), physical activity (8 items), energy (3 items), sleep (5 items), social isolation (5 items), and emotional reactions (9 items). Each sub-parameter is scored between 0-100. 0 indicates best health, and 100 indicates worst health. The total NHP score is derived from the sum of the subscores.
Time frame: 1 day
