Brief summary
Studies examining stabilization training and cervical muscle endurance generally focused on headache as the main topic and did not focus on migraine. Studies examining the effects of vestibular training focused on the effects on vestibular migraine and did not address migraine holistically. Although the effects of vestibular rehabilitation and cervical stabilisation training on balance, cervical muscle endurance and joint position error in individuals with migraine have been examined separately, no study has been found in which all these topics were combined. Based on these reasons, this study aims to investigate the effects of two trainings on cervical muscle strength, normal range of motion, anterior tilt, joint position error, deep muscle endurance and balance in individuals with migraine.
Interventions

BEHAVIORALvestibular exercises
Vestibular exercises are a training used in individuals with migraine to ensure balance and coordination.
BEHAVIORALClassic cervical/ neck exercises
Classic cervical neck exercises including stretching and strengthening
