Can upper cervical manual therapy affect the blink reflex in subjects with migraine and neck pain?

The present study demonstrated that upper cervical MT affected trigeminal nociceptive neurotransmission in subjects with migraine and neck pain as reflected by changes in the BR. The increase in BR late response latencies of BR indicates an inhibitory effect of upper cervical spine MT on the TCC in these subjects. Trial Registration: The trial design was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT ID: IRCT20160621028567N2, url: https://www.irct.ir/) before the first patient was enrolled.
