Stabilization of the cervical spine through flexor endurance training for Alice in Wonderland syndrome presenting as an aura of migraine- A case report.

BACKGROUND

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome is classified as a perceptual disorder. The sufferers report episodes of distorted visual perceptions, altered body schema, and distorted experiences of time. The syndrome can be caused by migraine headaches. Migraine headaches can be caused by cervical spine instability and aberrant intersegmental motion.

METHODS

Training the deep neck flexor endurance lead to a reduction in migraine headaches and in turn a reduction or secession of the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome episodes.

RESULTS

There is a resolution of the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome episodes after cervical spine stabilization is achieved.

CONCLUSIONS

Training of the deep neck flexors shows promise as a primary treatment of migraine headaches and should be further investigated.
