Filter by:Tension-type headache is a headache that starts from the cervical and suboccipital regions, spreads from the back of the head to the parietal, frontal and temporal regions, and is felt in the form of compression, pressure and heaviness. Increased muscle and fascia tone in the cervical and cranial region, together with active trigger points and factors that trigger pain, cause tension-type headache. Head and neck fascia serves as an important proprioceptive structure in our body. Abnormal inputs from mechanoreceptors and structures around the joint cause deterioration in joint position sense. This study was planned to investigate the effects of the new facial distortion model on pain intensity, cervical posture and joint position sense, unlike the manual techniques used in previous studies in tension-type headache.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN in the management of Facial Pain and Headache of Muscular Origin. A randomized (block randomization), double-blind, two-arm controlled trial will involve 42 adult patients diagnosed with Facial Pain and Headache of Muscular Origin which is lasting more than 3 months on the basis of clinical examination. Qualified study participants will be randomly assigned to two groups. The studied group will receive tan aqueous solution containing CBD and CBN, to drink at home in the dose determined by the attending physician, while the control group will receive an aqueous solution of placebo, to drink at home in the dose determined by the attending physician during this time. Each subject will be tested on the qualification day (D0), on 20 days after D0 (D20), and then 40 (D40) and 60 (D60) days after the qualification day using electromyography (EMG), pressure pain threshold test (PPT), clinical examination and surveys.
this study will be conducted to investigate the effect of lumbar motor control training exercise on headache frequency, duration, intensity and neck functional disability in cervicogenic headache patients
Migraine is a debilitating illness and a major cause of disability in the world. It is highly prevalent, especially among women. Vitamin supplementation is a potential therapeutic option for migraines that remains largely under-explored. Several studies have shown that people with migraine tend to have higher arterial stiffness than people without migraine. Vitamin K2 deficiency is an important mediator of arterial stiffness and calcification due to decreased carboxylation of matrix Gla protein (MGP). Supplementation reverses these changes and improves vascular health in patients with end stage renal disease according to previous studies. Therefore, vitamin K2 supplementation could serve a potential role in migraine patients. The purpose of the study is to test the effect of vitamin K2 on decreasing the frequency of migraine attacks and decreasing arterial stiffness. The population will be recruited from the neurology clinic at LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital and will constitute of adult patients. They will be randomized to receive either the supplement of vitamin K2 or a placebo for the duration of 6 months. Laboratory tests and arterial stiffness measurements will be done at the beginning, middle, and at the end of the study for comparison.
Control group will receive US, TENS, IR and exercises. The treatment group will receive the same program in addition to shock waves therapy. Patients will receive 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Manual Therapy and the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach treatment in patients with TMD-related headaches.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the suboccipital muscles inhibition technique on patients suffering from tension-type headaches.
This study investigates the validity and reliability of the BETY- Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) as a biopsychosocial assessment tool in individuals with temporomandibular dysfunction-related headaches.
Epidural placement is a commonly used procedure for pain management during labor, delivery, and surgeries. However, epidural placement is often considered a technically challenging and complex procedure that requires a high level of skill and experience. In cases where the epidural is improperly placed or fails to produce effective analgesia, the discomfort and distress experienced by the patient may be heightened. Hence, the use of predictors, such as sonographic ones, may prove to be a valuable tool for healthcare professionals in the placement of epidurals, ultimately ensuring successful pain management for patients. The present study aims to identify predictors of difficult epidural placement in patients undergoing surgery.
The goal of this study is to learn more about the Headache Screening Questionnaire in people with Headache. The main question is: Does the lower limit of a 95% confidence interval of the HSQ in physiotherapy during a period of 2 to 4 weeks reach at least 0.4?
