Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a group-based neck and shoulder strength training intervention combined with postural correction for patients with chronic headache. Methods: This prospective, single-arm, uncontrolled pilot study with a pre–post design included patients with chronic migraine (n = 10) and TTH (n = 12) who participated in an 8-week group-based program consisting of neck and shoulder strength training three times per week, along with instructions for postural correction. The primary outcome was change in headache frequency. Secondary outcomes included changes in the intensity and duration of headache, number of days of analgesic use, and functionality. Results: In total, 22 patients completed the intervention and were included in the analysis. Headache frequency decreased at follow-up for the overall group (r = 0.531; p = 0.014). In-depth analysis showed that 45% of participants experienced an average reduction of 38% in headache frequency. Additionally, large to moderate effect sizes were observed for the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: This is the first study to introduce a group-based exercise program targeting the neck and shoulder muscles, combined with postural correction and standard pharmacological treatment, for patients with chronic primary headache. It was found to be a safe, well-tolerated, useful, and promising intervention for improving headache frequency, duration, and functionality. | |
