The aims of this paper was to determine the effect of self-myofascial release (SMFR) on postural stability and to analyze if it can influence migraine condition. Twenty-five subjects (age 49.7± 12.5) affected by migraine were enrolled. Assessments included a stabilometric analysis in order to evaluate balance and plantar support, with eyes open (OE) and closed (CE); cervical ROM measurement; evaluation of upper limb strength through handgrip. All the analysis were carried out before and after the administration of a single SMFR protocol, using medium density small balls laid in the three most painful trigger points in migraine patients: trapezius, sternocleidomastoids and suboccipital muscles. Performing a T test for paired samples, there was a significant increase in two ranges of the stabilometric analysis: ellipse surface, both with open and closed eyes (p value EO = 0.05; p value EC = 0.04) and length of the sway path, but just with closed eyes (p value = 0.05). SMFR might have a positive impact on postural stability in subjects with migraine. Further investigation should be conducted to confirm the hypothesis.
本文旨在确定自我肌筋膜放松（SMFR）对姿势稳定性的影响，并分析其是否会对偏头痛病情产生影响。招募了25名受偏头痛影响的受试者（年龄49.7±12.5）。评估包括进行静态平衡分析，以评估睁眼（OE）和闭眼（CE）时的平衡及足底支撑情况；测量颈椎活动度；通过握力评估上肢力量。所有分析均在实施单次SMFR方案前后进行，使用中密度小球置于偏头痛患者的三个最疼痛触发点：斜方肌、胸锁乳突肌和枕下肌。对配对样本进行T检验，静态平衡分析的两个指标有显著增加：椭圆面积，睁眼和闭眼时均有增加（p值OE = 0.05；p值EC = 0.04），以及摆动路径长度，但仅在闭眼时增加（p值 = 0.05）。SMFR可能对偏头痛患者的姿势稳定性有积极影响。应进行进一步研究以证实该假设。
