Evidence from controlled studies suggests that non-invasive physical therapies may help prevent headaches. Therapeutic ultrasound studies have generally been used in combination with other physical therapies.
Therapeutic ultrasound is known to act in two different ways, thermal and non-thermal. With thermal effect, it is possible to reduce pain and joint joints and increase local blood flow, while stimulating tissue regeneration, soft tissue repair, blood flow regulation in chronic ischemic tissues and protein synthesis with nonthermal effect. In addition, its effect on inflammation accelerated repair by affecting cell activities, altering platelet membrane permeability, leading to the release of serotonin and accelerating wound healing.
The aim of this study is to determine whether therapeutic ultrasound is superior to placebo ultrasound in the treatment of migraine.
