Summary

This study tested whether combining posture correction exercises with a gentle neck mobilization technique called SNAGs could reduce migraine severity, disability, and improve quality of life. Forty-four adults with episodic migraine participated. The approach is non-drug and focuses on physical therapy, aiming to provide an alternative or add-on to standard migraine treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGs) plus postural correction exercises
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-drug, hands-on therapy option to ease migraine symptoms and improve daily function.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed trial with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It tested a physical therapy technique, not a cure, and benefits may be modest.
