Migraine Headaches – International Journal of Neuroscience
Clinical Study: Migraine headaches are reduced by massage therapy.
Research:
Twenty-six adults with migraine headaches were randomly assigned to a wait-list control group or to a massage therapy group, and received two 30-minute massages per week for five consecutive weeks.
Results:
The massage therapy subjects reported fewer distress symptoms, less pain, more headache free days, fewer sleep disturbances, and they showed an increase in serotonin levels.
