An interventional study of Suboccipital muscle release and Conventional physical therapy in Cervicogenic Headache, sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad. Recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-12-12.
Sponsored by Foundation University Islamabad · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the "Additional effects of sternocleidomastoid release along with suboccipital muscle release in management of cervicogenic headache".
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 treating. patients with cervicogenic headache are mostly presented with forward head posture and weak deep neck flexors which may excerbate the headache symptoms.Therefore The purpose of this study is to determine the ""Additional effects of sternocleidomastoid release along with suboccipital muscle release in management of cervicogenic headache
