Filter by:The aim of this study is to find out the effects of Mulligan SNAGs along with thoracic postural correction techniques on patients with chronic cervicogenic headache. Patients suffering from cervicogenic headache are often associated with muscle imbalance. This study will be significant in determining the effects of SNAGs along with thoracic postural correction techniques to improve pain, level of disability and functional status in patients of cervicogenic headache. It will be Randomized controlled trial study design Data will be collected from Lady reading Hospital Peshawar Purposive sampling, group randomization using lottery method will be used in this study.
This project will explore the effect of deep friction massage and post isometric relaxation techniques in Cervicogenic headache. The population sample will be 20 divided randomly into two groups by Lottery method. Then i will collect data from central hospital, Gujranwala. One group will be treated with a deep friction massage technique thrice a week for 3 weeks. Another group will be treated with a post isometric relaxation technique thrice a week for 3 weeks. Both groups will receive a heating pad and neck isometric as baseline treatment. Baseline measurements are taken by an inclinometer. After a treatment plan, the group will be assessed again and post-treatment measured values will be compared with the pretest values. Subjects will be asked to come for follow-up after 4 weeks. The follow-up will show which technique is more effective in subjects having Cervicogenic headaches. Both the techniques used are non-invasive and having minimum side effects. This project will help Physical Therapy Practitioner to explore which technique is more useful to treat Cervicogenic headaches.
Cervicogenic headache is a secondary form of headache that occurs from the upper cervical spine and atlanto-occipital joint. A CGH is a frequent source of chronic headache and is frequently misdiagnosed .Cervicogenic headache is among the most common problem affecting four times more women as compared to males and is considered by some painful feeling in the head , neck ,temporal area, frontal area and around the eyes areas.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of cervical sustained natural apophyseal glide half rotation technique in patients with cervicogenic headache. Not many researches have focused specifically on the cervical sustained natural apophyseal glide half rotation technique and this study intends to see its effect in the cervicogenic headache patients.
Headache is an important health problem. It is the commonest type of all signs of illness in the people worldwide. Cervicogenic Headache is commonest musculoskeletal condition in physiotherapy practice. This study's main objective was to evaluate effectiveness of Dry Needle with exercise in decreasing pain and improving function in patients with Cervicogenic Headache.
The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of upper cervical thrust joint manipulation and reverse Sustained Natural apophyseal Glide on intensity of pain, pain pressure threshold, range of motion and headache disability in patients with cervicogenic headache. A randomized control trial was conducted at Max Rehab and Physical therapy center, Islamabad. The sample size was calculated through open epi tool is 16. The participants were divided in two groups, 8 participants in experimental group and 8 participants in control group. The study duration was six months. Sampling technique applied was Purposive sampling for recruitment and group randomization using sealed envelope method. Only 20 to 40 years participants with cervicogenic headache and associated symptoms were included in the study. Tools used in this study are Numeric pain rating Scale (NPRS), Algometer, Inclinometer and headache disability index (HDI). Data analyzed through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.
Background: Cervicogenic headache (CH) described as a chronic hemi-cranial pain resulted from a disorder of the cervical spine and its anatomic structures innervated by the C1, C2, and C3 cervical spinal nerves. Traditionally noninvasive and invasive techniques were used for treatment. Greater occipital nerve block is the most frequent peripheral nerve block invasive technique used for the management of cervicogenic headache Objectives: The study was done to compare the efficacy of two different techniques: multifidus cervicus plan block and greater occipital nerve block in treatment of refractory cervicogenic headache using ultrasound guided. Patients and Methods: sixty patients with cervicogenic headache were recruited and diagnosed according to ICHD-ш Beta version. Divided into two group, one for greater occipital nerve block and the other for multifidus cervicis plane block with ultrasound guided.
Cervicogenic headache is defined as unilateral headache associated with neck pain. Effect of manual translatoric therapy of the upper cervical spine associated with cervical exercises in these patients is currently unknown. Our aim was to determine if adding manual therapy to an exercise and home-exercise program improved effects on symptoms and function in short- and mid-term in patients with cervicogenic headache. A randomized controlled study will be conducted with 40 subjects with cervicogenic headache. Each group will receive four 20-minute sessions weekly and a home-exercise program. Upper cervical flexion, flexion-rotation test, Impact Headache Test-6 (HIT-6), headache intensity, craniocervical flexion test, pain pressure thresholds and Global Rating of Change (GROC)-Scale will be assessed at end of the intervention, at 3- and at 6-month follow-ups.
This is a single-blinded randomized clinical trial. The primary aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of dry needling of myofascial trigger points in the muscles of the head and cervical spine in addition to an upper extremity strengthening/stretching exercise program compared to a dry needling group alone on pain scores, cervical range of motion, pain sensitivity and changes in severity and frequency of pain symptoms in individuals with cervicogenic headache.
Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a type of symptomatic headache that is characterized by chronic unilateral headache secondary to cervical spine dysfunction. Generally, it gets worse by neck movements, continuous placement of the head in an awkward position and exposure to external pressure on the upper cervical or occipital region. The pain was demonstrated to originate from lower cervical disc prolapse and spinal nerve roots in some studies, while it is suggested in some others to occur due to the upper cervical region as well. Although disturbed cervical alignment has been determined in tension headache and migraine, there are few studies with controversial results in the literature investigating the effects of the change in cervical lordosis on CEH. These contradictory results strongly influence the decision of whether exercise should be added to the treatment protocol in CEH and also the creation of an appropriate treatment program by the clinicians. In light of this background, the aim of this study was to compare the cervical radiographs of patients with CEH and patients with neck pain without a headache.
