Cervicogenic Headaches Clinical Trial
Official title:
Spinal Manipulation and Dry Needling Versus Conventional Physical Therapy in Patients With Cervicogenic Headache: a Multi-center Randomized Clinical Trial
The purpose of this research is to compare two different approaches for treating patients with cervicogenic headaches: non-thrust mobilization and exercise versus thrust manipulation and dry needling. Physical therapists commonly use all of these techniques to treat cervicogenic headaches. This study is attempting to find out if one treatment strategy is more effective than the other.
Patients with cervicogenic headaches will be randomized to receive 1-2 treatment sessions per week for 4 weeks (up to 8 sessions total) of either: (1) Dry Needling and HVLA thrust manipulation group, or the (2) Exercise and non-thrust mobilization group ;
