Filter by:Cervicogenic headache (CGH) manifests as unilateral neck pain referred from the neck's soft tissues or bony structures. The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of Shi style cervical mobilization versus Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides on pain, strength and functional disability in patients with Cervicogenic Headache.
Cervicogenic headache is a very incessant issue that is often faced by the 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 Jones technique and cross-friction massage have never been investigated in patients with cervicogenic headache and neck pain, this study aims to investigate the effects of these treatments on two study groups (Group A&B) respectively.
Background Cervical spondylosis is a prevalent condition. Studies has shown that it is a leading cause for headache, which is termed cervicogenic headache (CGH). The prevlance of CGH among severe headache is 17.5%. While conventional treatments, such as physical therapy and surgery, is effective in controlling symptoms, the effect was found to be short-lasting. There is existing clinical evidence supporting traditional Chinese cervical manipulation (CCM) as a viable treatment for CGH. Objective To preliminarily assess the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of CCM on patients with CGH, and to optimize parameters for a future large-scale trial. Method This study is a pilot randomized, controlled, single-blind trial. 84 participants will be randomized evenly to receive either CCM or sham manipulation for 4 weeks. Outcome measurements will be conducted at baseline, week 2, week 4 and week 8 on cervical functional disability, cervical range of motion, and data on headache onset and painkiller assumption. Adverse events will be recorded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).
The aim of our study is to determine the effect of ELDOA in relieving pain, improving ROM and functional disability in patients with cervicogenic headache. This study will add to the growing body of knowledge that if this technique yields comparable outcomes, it would be the alternative therapy. Moreover, it would add to the society as no literature is available on the effect of ELDOA technique in the management of Cervicogenic headache.
This project comprises two studies; a cross-sectional study and a randomized controlled trial. 1. The goal of the cross-sectional study is to compare multiple outcome parameters in different headache types: tension type (TTH), cervicogenic (CGH) and myofascial headache (MFH) as drafted by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD). Not only will these types be compared against each other, they will also be compared to healthy controls (HC). The main research questions are: - Are the criteria drafted by the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) discriminative for MFH? - Are there differences between the headache types (and healthy controls) in pain & disability scores, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, muscle elasticity and hyperalgesia (=pain pressure treshold, PPT)? Participants will : - Fill out questionnaires about their pain and disability; - Be clinically investigated by a physiotherapist (anamnesis, inspection, examination of movement and structures of the neck and head); - Undergo a testing battery including neck ROM, neck muscle strength & elasticity and PPT measurement of the C2 processus spinosus, the bilateral upper trapezius muscle and the tibialis anterior muscle of the dominant leg. 2. The goal of this randomized controlled study is to investigate the additional effect of dry needling in the treatment of MFH patients, as compared to a treatment consisting of manual techniques only. The main question it aims to answer is: - Does manual therapy combined with dry needling provide an additional effect on pain, disability and functional outcomes in MFH patients, as compared to manual therapy alone? After the baseline test (see part 1), participants with MFH will be randomly divided to receive 4 sessions over 4 weeks of MT or MT + DN. Hereafter, the baseline test is repeated at 1 week and 3 months post-treatment.
This research study aims to better understand the relationships between neck muscle function, neck joint position sense, and headache pain and disability in people with chronic cervicogenic headache. Cervicogenic headache is headache originating from the neck area. Participants will fill out questionnaires about their headache pain and ability to do daily activities. They will also do tests to measure neck muscle fatigue and neck joint position sense. Researchers will analyze if those with more neck muscle fatigue and poorer joint position sense have worse headache pain and disability. The results may improve understanding of cervical spine factors related to cervicogenic headache. This could help guide more targeted treatment approaches.
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
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 purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of TMJ directed treatment approach using the Rocabado 6x6 program in patients with cervicogenic headache on the intensity of headache, function of the neck, and quality of life and compare its effectiveness with headache SNAGs which have been proven very effective in treatment of cervicogenic headache.
Patients suffering from Cervicogenic headache have restricted range of motion and pain which in turn causes functional disability and reduced quality of life. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of Graston technique to improve range of motion, function, and reduction of pain and in patients having Cervicogenic headache
