Migraine headaches, a clinical study involving 11 migraine patients and NUCCA care was recently conducted. Let's take a look at the results and reveal the benefits of NUCCA care and how the study was conducted.
Method Of Study: Migraine Headaches
The 11 patients in the study had never experienced upper cervical chiropractic care before. All were subject to having migraine headaches and were required to have at least 10-26 days with a headache for the previous four months. Additionally, at least eight of those headache days per month required a 4 out of 10 or higher for pain. While many candidates had either a concussion, auto accident or both, candidates who experienced trauma in the past year were excluded.NUCCA professionals used various kinds of testing to evaluate the patients. Supine Leg Check Screening tested patients for visible signs of one leg being shorter, which may indicate atlas misalignment. Gravity stress analyzers were used, as well as, calipers for detecting asymmetry in the pelvis were used. A typical NUCCA radiograph series also includes three x-rays a lateral cervical film (side view), a nasium film (back view), and a vertex film (top view) to identify specific misalignments.
Outcome: Migraine Patients
Headache days per month decreased for patients on average. 14.5 headache days per month was the norm. After one month of NUCCA treatment, patients experienced 11.4 headache days per month. At the conclusion of the two-month study, patients were down to 8.7 headache days per month.Quality of life measurements in three categories also improved radically within the course of two months:
- Restrictive enhanced from 38.4 to 73.5
- Emotional improved from 53.3 to 81.2
- Physical improved from 54.1 to 86.8
While further studies are necessary to offer a quantifiable method of documenting the physiological changes which take place because of the corrections, the results speak for themselves as to the advantages of NUCCA for migraine headaches, especially those with a history of neck or head trauma.
