Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation for Headache

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a pilot and feasibility randomized controlled trial that aims to assess the efficacy of 8 treatment sessions of chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy compared to the same number of sham manipulative therapy or placebo interventions for chronic cervicogenic and tension-type headache. The hypothesis proposed is that chiropractic care will reduce the intensity and frequency of both cervicogenic and tension-type headache episodes, when compared to placebo. A sample of 20 participants suffering from cervicogenic or tension-type headache for at least 3 months, aged 18 to 67 will be randomized to receive either 8 sessions of spinal manipulative treatment (2 times per week for a total of 4 weeks) or 8 sessions of a validated sham spinal manipulation. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, after 4 treatments and at the end of the treatment period. ;
