Clinical Trial Summary

The most frequent kind of primary headache is tension headache, often known as stress headache or tension-type headache (TTH). The pain usually affects both sides of the head and might extend from the lower back of the head, the neck, the eyes, or other muscle groups in the body. Nearly 90 percent of all headaches are tension-type headaches causing a debilitating effect on job productibility and overall quality of life. The aim of the study will be to compare the effects of spinal mobilizations comprising Mulligan's headache SNAGs and Maitland's PA glide with the myofascial release technique on pain and disability in patients with tension-type headache.


Clinical Trial Description

A Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted at FMH Physiotherapy Clinic, NUR International Physical Therapy clinic and Boston Physiotherapy Clinic Lahore through consecutive sampling technique on 34 patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through sealed opaque envelopes into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with Spinal Mobilizations comprising Mulligan's headache SNAGs and Maitland's PA glide and Group B will be treated with Myofascial release technique. Outcome measures tools will be conducted through NPRS, Headache disability Index, Headache impact test (HIT-6). Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups ;
