Migraine is a complex, multifactorial, neurovascular disorder of the brain. Patients frequently have pericranial trigger points, but trigger point (TP) therapy for migraine has not yet been adequately studied. In contrast, lymphatic drainage (LD) has been studied in patients with migraine. The multifactorial origin of migraine suggests using a combination of approaches such as TP therapy and lymphatic drainage. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of TP therapy alone and in combination with LD in preventing migraine during treatment period and over an 8‑week period after completion of treatment. A wait list control group served as a control group. Patients completed a headache calendar. The results of this pilot study suggest a beneficial effect for TP alone and TP combined with LD for migraine prophylaxis for 8 weeks after completion of treatment.
偏头痛是一种复杂的、多因素的脑部神经血管疾病。患者常有颅周触发点，但针对偏头痛的触发点（TP）疗法尚未得到充分研究。相比之下，偏头痛患者的淋巴引流（LD）已得到研究。偏头痛的多因素起源提示可采用多种方法相结合，如TP疗法和淋巴引流。本研究评估了单独使用TP疗法以及TP疗法与LD联合使用在治疗期间及治疗结束后8周预防偏头痛的有效性。一个候补对照组作为对照组。患者完成了头痛日历。这项初步研究的结果表明，单独使用TP以及TP与LD联合使用对治疗结束后8周预防偏头痛有有益效果。
