Massaging over the greater occipital nerve reduces the intensity of migraine attacks: evidence for inhibitory trigemino-cervical convergence mechanisms Massagem sobre o nervo occipital maior reduz a intensidade dos ataques de migrânea: evidência de mecanismos de convergência inibitórios trigemino-cervical

Activation of the trigemino-cervical system constitutes one of the first steps in the genesis of migraine. The objective of this study was to confirm the presence of trigemino-cervical convergence mechanisms and to establish whether such mechanisms may also be of inhibitory origin. We describe a cas...
