Migraine is not merely a headache; it is characterized by increased excitability of neurons in the central nervous system, leading to hypersensitivity to pain. Central sensory mechanisms are thought to play a role in the pathophysiology and chronicity of migraine, causing increased pain sensitivity, allodynia, and potentially related to musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, psychosocial factors and work stress have been identified as significant factors associated with both headaches and musculoskeletal pain. Literature indicates that neck pain is common in individuals with migraine headaches; in fact, neck pain is twice as frequent in patients with chronic migraine headaches compared to those with episodic migraine. While evidence regarding back pain is limited, it has been shown that individuals with chronic headaches report back pain more frequently.
