Dry Needle In Management of Cervicogenic Headache

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

50 patients were included and assigned randomly to group A and B. Group-A received Dry Needle plus exercise and group-B received Dry Needle alone. Baseline assessment was taken before and after treatment; treatment was given for four weeks twice a week. Outcome indicators were measured by Visual analog scale, Neck Disability Index and Cervical Range Of Motion. The study findings indicate that both groups improve the symptoms of a headache. Clinically better improvement was indicated by Dry Needle plus exercise group than Dry Needle alone group. As per our results, Dry Needle plus exercise should be preferred for the management of cervicogenic headache over Dry Needle alone. ;
