Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical results in cervical spine range of motion, endurance deep cervical muscles, headache impact and physical activity enjoyment by a training protocol with the new device for cervical treatment (CDAT) versus conventional training protocol (CT) in subjects with cervicogenic headache.
To compare the effects of kinesiology taping and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization in cervicogenic headache
The goal of this research is to assess the utility of smartphone-based progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) for the treatment of migraine and sleep. While there are many commercially available electronic diary and mind-body intervention apps for headache, there is little data showing their efficacy. RELAXaHEAD app incorporates the electronic PMR that was successfully used in an earlier epilepsy study and beta tested with headache specialist and migraine patient input. It also is an electric headache diary. The app has been studied and findings have been reported in multiple peer reviewed publications. Also, the app has been updated based on prior feedback from the studies. Now, this 2-arm randomized controlled study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of RELAXaHEAD for use with patients with migraine and comorbid insomnia. . One arm will be the RELAX group (the RELAXaHEAD app) and the other arm will be a monitored usual care (MUC) group (this group receives standard of care and uses the electronic daily symptom reporting diary). The goals are to assess the feasibility and adherence of the RELAX intervention in persons with migraine and insomnia (Aim 1) and to gather exploratory data on the effects of the RELAX intervention on headache and sleep related outcome measures (Aim 2).
Chronic migraine (CM) is related to headache-related disability and reduced quality of life. Therefore, patients with CM require preventive treatment. The aim of this double-blind, comparative-effectiveness study was to compare ultrasound-guided great occipital nerve (GON) block and pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) application in CM patients. The study consisted of 2 groups: GON block (group GONB) and GON block + pulsed RF (group GONB+PRF). Each group had 16 patients. Ultrasound-guided GONB was performed to locate the nerve more accurately. With 0.5 Hz sensorial stimulation, a 5-cm-long radiofrequency needle was advanced under ultrasound guidance in both groups. GON block was performed in all patients by administering 5mg bupivacaine through a PRF needle. After the GON block, the PRF neuromodulation was applied at 42 degrees for 4 minutes in the GONB-PRF group. In the GONB group, no pulse was given. The patients were examined for follow-ups at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th months after the procedure. The severity and the number of migraine attacks, and the number of analgesic drugs were noted.
The study aims to compare the effects of connective tissue massage on pain severity, attack frequency and duration, migraine-related disability, and quality of life in patients diagnosed with migraine, by comparing them with the classical massage.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of vagal nerve stimulation on patients with post COVID syndrome who have fatigue and headache.
Cervicogenic headache is a very incessant issue that is often faced by general population.Cervicogenic headache is a significant issue in patients with upper cervical dysfunction. However, its physical therapy management is a subject of debate.As the Comparative effects of SNAGs half rotation technique and Gong's mobilizations has never been investigated in patients with cervicogenic headache and neck pain , the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of these treatments on two study groups(Group A&B) respectively. This study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in D.H.Q Sahiwal . The study will be completed within the time duration of six months .Non- probability convenience sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 30 patients will be taken in this study , aged 25-45 years, will allocate to two groups, Group A (Sustained neutral apophyseal glide half rotation technique) Group B (Gong's mobilization).cervical Sustained neutral apophyseal glide half rotation technique (SNAG) half rotation technique will be performed with the patient sitting on a chair in the erect posture. The thumb placement of therapist will be over the transverse process of C1. Then, glide will be applied ventrally with active rotation of the restricted site 10 times holding for 10 seconds with overpressure at end of the rotation with 30 second rest in between each repetition and 3 session/week for 6 weeks.Group B will be treated three times in a week for 4 weeks.Group B will get Gong's mobilization for 15-20 mins.Participants will be treated 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings will be taken in 1st session and 6th week respectively. Assessment will done via flexion rotation test (FRT),6-item Headache Impact scale and neck disability index. Neck Disability Index will use to examine neck pain intensity and cervicogenic headache symptoms.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of sustained natural apophyseal glide and deep friction massage in patients with cervicogenic headache for reducing pain, enhancing cervical range of motion and improving sleep quality.
The aim of this clinical study to evaluate the effect of temporomandibular joint dysfunction accompanying patients with chronic migraine on pain, quality of life, sleep and functionality.
The aim of this study to evaluate the effects of fibromyalgia syndrome accompanying women with chronic migraine on pain, quality of life, sleep, anxiety and depression, central sensitization and functionality.
