"The Link Between Neck Inflammation and Headaches"
Recent research has uncovered objective evidence linking neck muscle inflammation to primary headaches, such as migraines and tension-type headaches, providing potential for more effective treatments. The study used MRI to quantify inflammation in neck muscles and found that muscle T2 values were significantly associated with the number of headache days and the presence of neck pain. This breakthrough could lead to targeted treatments that directly address neck muscle inflammation, offering potential relief for both neck pain and headaches.
