Conditions
Brief summary
The objective is to assess the changes produced by manual visceral treatment in a homogeneous group of patients with chronic migraine and functional gastrointestinal disorders. These changes produced will be measured at the level of the Autonomous Nervous System (heart rate variability), in cervical mobility, sensitive threshold and in the pressure pain threshold on the sutural cranial point, a neural point (Valleix supraorbital neural point ) and a muscular trigger point (upper fibers of the Trapezius muscle) after performing manual visceral techniques on the diaphragm and some gastrointestinal areas. The hypothesis is that visceral manual maneuvers should have influence on craneofacial pain by modulating the autonomic nervous system
Interventions
Manual therapy applied by expert physiotherapist with minimum 15 years experience.
Maneuvers aiming to improve the functional status of the diaphragm and gastrointestinal areas will be applied. These maneuvers pretend to mobilize and stretch the diaphragm and gastrointestinal areas, as well as relax them by means of pressure.
Maneuvers are controlled, soft and painless.
Subjects will remain lying down, lying side and seated.
Intervention is applied once during 10 minutes in neuroscience laborat

Intervention is applied once during 10 minutes in neuroscience laboratory of the Balearic Island University Interventors will use a cronometer and a list of the maneuvers to apply a repeatable methodology
