About

This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to compare ventro-cephalic to dorso-caudal translatoric glides in management of cervicogenic headache.

Full description

Participants will be recruited into their respective groups using a coin toss method.Cervicogenic headache will be assesed using International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition:

A- Any headache fulling criterion C. B- Clinical and/or imaging evidence of lesion or disorder in cervical spine or soft tissues of neck that can cause headache.

C- Evidence of cause of headache demonstrated by at least 2 of these:

1. headache has developed in temporal relation to the onset of the cervical disorder or lesion.
2. headache has significantly improved or resolved in parallel with improvement in cervical lesion or disorder.
3. cervical range of motion is reduced, and headache is made significantly worse by provocative maneuvers.
4. headache is abolished following anaesthetic blocked of cervical structure. D- Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis.

CEH subject selection is based on clinical criteria, however anaesthetic blockades is not used as a criterion.

Enrollment: 40 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 44 years old
