Nothing
Some people get relief for various headaches with OMM.

The good news is that all of neurological conditions can be treated with cranial OMM. The bad news is that entire last sentence was sarcasm.

I pretty much refuse to learn cranial on principle, but suboccipital release for tension headaches is kind of awesome. Other than that... I got nothing.

Well --- on a n=1 scale ---
My wife suffered from true migraines since her teenage years -- her mother also had a history of headaches and then passed from a cerebral hemorrhage at age 43; I went to osteopathic school later in life so I had watched my wife lie on the couch with a wet cloth over her eyes, in so much pain that she was crying and PO meds would lessen but not completely relieve the pain. After children, the headaches continued -- the standard regimen was given with no complete resolution. These headaches occurred about once or twice every 2 weeks.
Along comes OMS-1 --- and I'm getting ready for a practical exam and she's being the dutiful wife and playing the role of a training dummy. While diagnosing, I notice her OA/AA has some somatic dysfunction so on a lark, I set her up for a treatment thinking I'll just take it to the barrier and not apply any force --- well, let's just say there was an audible "pop" and I felt movement in my hands. We both commented on it and didn't think any more about it.
Until we noticed she had stopped having migraines --- for about 6 months --- and then it went to 12 months --- and now it's been 11 years -- she still gets headaches on occasion but usually when she's been working too much on the computer or hasn't had a meal on a regular basis -- and they're nowhere near the migraine level, Thank God.....
Yes, the rest of the workup (MRIs/MRAs) were normal ---
Did OMM do the job and is it the be all/end all of migraines? No --- again, just a single episode in someone's life, likely clouded by examiner/patient expectations.
Now -- just yesterday I had a patient seek me out BECAUSE I was a DO, thinking I still did OMM --- they were disappointed when I told them that I didn't do OMM anymore....and so it goes.....
