Effect of Craniocervical Neural Mobilization on Quality of Life in Patients With Primary Tension Headache — TTH  

Tension-Type Headache Clinical Trial

Official title:
Effect of Craniocervical Neural Mobilization on Quality of Life in Patients With Primary Tension Headache

Clinical Trial Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the effect of craniocervical neural mobilization on quality of life in patients with primary tension headache.

Clinical Trial Description

The World Health Organization estimates that the three most prevalent neurologic disorders worldwide are tension-type headache (1.5 billion), migraine (958.8 million), and medication overuse headache (58.5 million). Collectively, these three disorders contribute approximately 17% to the global burden of neurologic diseases, with migraine the second most disabling disease overall. TTH (Tension Type of Headache) is defined as mild to moderate band-like pressure headache with few associated symptoms. It varies considerably in frequency and duration, from rare, short-lasting episodes of discomfort to frequent, long-lasting, or even continuous disabling headaches.Physiotherapy treatment based on manual therapy achieved positive outcomes in pain intensity and frequency, disability, impact of headache, quality of life, and craniocervical range of motion in adults with TTH. Although pervious findings showed a clinical improvement, there is no clear evidence that one technique is superior to another.Neurodynamic techniques can improve mechanical functions in nerve structures, such as tension and sliding functions. When the nerve structure experiences clamping and disrupts mobility, pain occurs along the nerve. Neurodynamic sliding techniques play a major role in improving blood circulation and axonal transport, as well as increasing nerve integrity and reducing the pressure caused by intraneural and extraneural fibrosis. thirty patients with tension headache will be allocated randomly into two equal groups. the first one will receive craniocervical mobilization and a selected physiotherapy program and the control group will receive selected physiotherapy program for one month. ;
