[Physiotherapy of cervical migraine in the light of personal experience].
The study aimed at developing optimal technique of the physical treatment of headache in the course of cervical migraine. The study involved 65 patients with headache accompanying degenerative lesions to the cervical spine. The patients were divided into two groups. Routine balneokinesitherapy was employed in one group of 25 patients whereas diadynamic current of specially adjusted parameters were additionally used in the second group of 40 patients. Markedly better results were achieved in this group as headache was nearly completely relieved in 77.5% and significantly reduced in 22.5% of the patients. In the first group of patients headache disappeared in 12% of the treated patients, was reduced in 52%, and did not change in 36% of the treated patients. Multifactorial etiopathogenesis of cervical migraine advocates the use of complex therapeutical means. Discussed therapy involving balneokinesitherapy and diadynamic currents makes a complex of factors acting on various pathogenetic elements of the disease, leading to favourable effects. Employed techniques are simple, available and free of adverse reactions.
