View clinical trials related to Cervicogenic Headache.
Filter by: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).
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
- The purposes of this study are: - To investigate the combined effect of cranial and cervical mobilization in patient with cervicogenic headache and there effect on : 1. Perceptive neck pain intensity 2. Perceptive headache intensity 3. pain by pressure 4. frequency of headache episodes 5. duration of headache episodes 6. Medications uptakes
It has been suggested that the suboccipital muscles are a causative factor in both cervicogenic neck pain and headache. Hamstrings and sub-occipital muscles are connected by a neural system and sub-occipital muscles pass through the dura Mater. Increased tension and shortening of the hamstring's muscles can cause neck and shoulder pain. In addition, when the muscles around the neck are tensed, the muscles in the limbs are also tensed, so that if the tone of the hamstring muscles is decreased, SLR test score increased, and the tone of the sub-occipital muscles is reduced. Active release technique is found to have an effect on hamstring flexibility.
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique In pain intensity, frequency of headache, medication Uptake, Suboccipital movement in flexion and extension, rounded shoulder, forward head posture and proprioception of cervical spine in cases of cervicogenic headache related to trigger points and myofascial restrictions when combined with conventional physical therapy modalities.
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
To detect the Clinical efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency treatment targeting the mid cervical medial branches versus greater occipital nerve for cervicogenic headache
This study will be designed to determining whether there is a relationship between CGH and cervical posture which may potentially provide physical therapists with evidence supporting the assessment and treatment of abnormal posture in this patient group.
