Filter by:the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of Dry Needling Versus Instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization In the Patient With Cervicogenic Treatment 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.
52 people between the ages of 18-45 who were diagnosed with cervicogenic headache by the physician who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of Bursa VM Medical Park Hospital will be included in the research. 52 people will be randomized. They will be divided into two groups, 26 people in the study group and 26 people in the control group. The study group will be called the mechanical traction group (CTG), and the control group will be called the manual traction group (MTG). After obtaining the demographic information of the individuals to be included in the study, the cases will be evaluated with the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Mc-Gill Melzack Pain Questionnaire for head and neck pain before and after treatment. Cervical joint range of motion will be measured with an electrogoniometer, and muscle tone will be measured with myotonometer (MyotonPRO). Flexion and extension endurance tests will be performed on the cervical region muscles. Headache Impact Scale (HIT-6) will be performed to evaluate the functional status of the patients. Posture of patients will be evaluated with Corbin Posture Analysis. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index will be used to evaluate the sleep quality of the patients. All patients will be informed about the study. An informed consent form will be obtained from each. The mechanical traction group (CTG) and the manual traction group (MTG) will be treated for 6 days and 2 weeks. Intermittent traction with chattanooga tru trac traction device will be applied to CTG, and manual traction, one of Cyriax's neck mobilization techniques, will be applied to MTG.transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), hotpack and ultrasound will be applied to both groups, and an exercise program will be given in the form of a home program.
The intervention will consist of the nursing staff applying 2 grams of diclofenac 1% gel topically to the posterior cervical region four times daily. The control group will receive petroleum jelly topically to the posterior cervical region four times daily. Patients will receive a pre-intervention and post-intervention survey incorporating the Numeric Assessment Scale and Headache Impact Test-6.
Eligible participants will complete the COMPASS 31 (year), modified COMPASS 31(one month) and the NSI (one month) questionnaires at baseline and complete the modified COMPASS 31 and the NSI after usual care of treatment. The investigators will 1. Compare results for the COMPASS 31(year) to the modified COMPASS 31(month) at baseline. 2. Compare modified COMPASS 31(month) to the NSI at baseline and post intervention.
To detect the Clinical efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency treatment targeting the mid cervical medial branches versus greater occipital nerve for cervicogenic headache
Study will be randomized clinical trial. Data will be collected from non probability consecutive sampling technique. Total 44 participants from Rafiqa Hospital and District Headquarter (DHQ) Sargodha will be selected and randomly allocated to two different groups i.e Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with Instrument assisted Fascial Abrasion and Conventional Therapy for 5 minutes, 6 sessions (3 sessions per week) (12) while Group B will be treated with Myofascial Release Technique and Conventional Therapy for 2 to 3 minutes, 5-7 repetitions and 3 sessions per week on alternate days were given for 6 weeks. NPRS, MOS-36, NDI will be used as outcome measuring tool before and after treatment. Data will be analyzed by using Statistical package for social sciences 25.
This is a pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy in patients with tension-type and cervicogenic headache.
The goal of this study is to examine the effectiveness the Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) approach for the management patients with neck related headache that are referred to a hospital based out-patient physical therapy clinic. Background: Headache conditions are among the most common complaints causing people to seek medical care. An estimated 14 billion dollars are spent annually on treating headaches. Neck related headache is characterized by pain which comes from the cervical spine (neck) and could be referred to the head and/or face. CGH is frequently managed clinically utilizing an MDT approach however to date there is limited research available examining the effectiveness of this intervention type in a population with CGH.
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.
