Cervical Muscle Strength and Muscle Coactivation During Isometric Contractions in Patients With Migraine: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Abstract

Patients with chronic migraine exhibit altered muscle performance, took longer to reach peak of force during some cervical movements, and had higher coactivation of the splenius capitis during maximal isometric cervical flexion contraction. Finally, patients with migraine reported the presence of neck and head pain complaints during maximal isometric voluntary cervical contractions.
