Comparison of the Effectiveness of Connective Tissue Massage and Classical Massage in Patients With Migraine

The intensity of pain perceived by the subjects will be evaluated with a valid method, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The higher numbers show higher pain intensities.

Clinical investigator

The Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS), which is considered valid and reliable, will be used to evaluate the migraine-related disability. The higher scores indicate an increase in the severity of the disability.

The patients' quality of life will be evaluated with the 24-hours Quality of Life in Migraine Scale (24-Hr-MQoLQ), which is valid and reliable. The increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates an increase in the quality of life.

The change perceived by the patients after the intervention will be evaluated with the Global Rating of Change Scale (GROC). According to the scale, it is expressed as "-2: I am much worse, -1: I am worse, 0: No change, 1: I am better, 2: I am much better".

The general descriptive demographic information of the participants such as age and gender; migraine family history, duration of the complaints, attack frequency and duration will be questioned with a form prepared by the researchers.
