Aportación del sistema vestibular a la percepción de la verticalidad en estudiantes universitarios con dolor de cabeza

Résumé

Headache disorders are very frequent diseases, being the university population mainly affected. It has been possible to observe a relationship between headache and other disorders such as neck pain or non-specific balance disorders. In addition, possible disturbances in verticality perception have been observed in patients with headache. In the present doctoral thesis, due to the absence of a tool to evaluate headache-related disability, the cross-cultural validation of the Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire (MIDAS) has been carried out in the university population, allowing us to explore which neck pain and body instability-generating activities are related to the presence, frequency, intensity and headache-related disability, as well as to explore the possible disturbances in verticality perception in this patients.
