Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two models of delivery of guided exercise in patients with exercise intolerance after mild head injury. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is a program that includes elements of in-house exercise and follow-up sessions, and repeated treadmill testing, superior to a program with telephone-based follow-up only? Participants will undergo a treadmill test to determine eligibility for the study, and to determine at what intensity level their symptoms worsen (symptom threshold). Thereafter they will exercise 15-20 minutes, 3-5 times per week at 80-90% of the heart rate that was found to be the symptom threshold. One group will receive face-to-face folllow-up and repeated testing, one group will receive telephone-based follow-up only . Researchers will compare these two groups to see if closer follow-up is superior when it comes to recovery from exercise intolerance after 12 weeks of exercise.
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.
Cervicogenic headache (CH) arises from cervical region problems. Various physiotherapy methods such as manual therapy approaches and exercise training are used in the treatment of CH. The aim of our study is to investigate cervical mobilization and clinical Pilates exercises on pain, muscle stiffness, head and neck blood flow in CH. Including individuals diagnosed with CH in the study. Those to be included in the study will be divided into 3 groups by a simple method. Demographic information of the individuals, age, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), gender, educational status, occupation, marital status, smoking, alcohol use will be recorded. In evaluations about pain before treatment; pain intensity, pain frequency, duration and characteristics will be evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS). In addition, analgesic use (frequency, amount) in headache situations will be recorded. Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) will be used to determine the effect of headache on quality of life. Disability Index will be used in the assessment of functional desire, and Postur Screen mobile application will be used in the assessment of posture. Range of motion(ROM) of all neck joint movements will be evaluated by CROM goniometer, deep neck flexor muscle strength by Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU), sternocleidomastoid(SKM), suboccipital and upper trapezius muscle stiffness myotonometer, and head-neck artery flow volume will be evaluated by Doppler ultrasound. Cervical mobilization methods will be applied to the 1st group, clinical pilates applications to the 2nd group, clinical pilates with cervical mobilization will be applied to the 3rd group for 3 days / week for 6 weeks. All evaluations were completed again after the 3rd week and after the treatment. After the obtained results are obtained, the literature will be discussed.
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.
The overall aim of the study is to advance the knowledge on the characterization and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of persistent post-traumatic headache (PTH) with a direct impact on the ability to diagnose and manage PTH effectively. The investigators also aim to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a novel intervention on PTH.
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
Cervicogenic headache (CgH) is a distinct form of headache and accounts for 17.8% of all headaches and the prevalence rate is between 0.4% and 20%. A guide to health and safety in the office handbook by common wealth of Australia (2008) suggested the ergonomic guidance and interventions for preventing and treating musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) injuries in the office workers. Also, It has been estimated that 34% of US citizens receive some sort of physiotherapy for CgH each year. However, no studies have compared and investigated the combined and individual effects of workstation ergonomics, physiotherapy and patient education for improving cervicogenic headache and work ability in office workers.
Cervicogenic headache is a common headache that causes disability and affects everyday activities. Headache related disorders are the second most common reason for years lived with disability all over the world. According to the latest International Headache Society model, cervicogenicheadache (CGH) is a secondary headache having C1-C2 dysfunction. There is marked limitation in cervical ROM specially rotation. Treatment indicated involves use of electrotherapy and thermal modalities. In addition, use of different manual therapy techniques are advocated to eliminate the root cause i.e. C1-C2 dysfunction. Maitland mobilizations for cervical spine have been found to be effective in treating CGH patients. Maitland mobilizations uses oscillatory mobilizations and has four grades. Kaltenborn, on the other hand, applies sustained stretches and has 3 grades.So, the study will be focusing on comparing the effectiveness of these two mobilizations on cervicogenic headache patients.
