Efficacy of Combining Conventional Physiotherapy for Migraine With Transcutaneous Stimulation of the Auricular Vagal Nerve or Supraorbital Nerve: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Migraine is a common condition that causes severe headaches and other symptoms. These symptoms can greatly impact a person's quality of life. Conventional physiotherapy helps manage migraines but may not fully address pain issues. New techniques like transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (ta-VNS) and transcutaneous supraorbital nerve stimulation (t-SNS) could improve migraine treatment. Both methods may help change how the brain processes pain. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of ta-VNS and t-SNS when combined with physiotherapy. Researchers will measure how well these treatments reduce pain intensity and the frequency of migraines. They will also look at how these treatments affect migraine-related disability and neck issues. This research will involve individuals who have been diagnosed with migraines. The goal is to find better ways to manage migraine symptoms and improve patients' lives. Clinical relevance: This research could lead to new treatment options that effectively reduce migraine pain and frequency, enhancing the quality of life for many patients suffering from this condition.
