About

The main objective of this study is to determine the effects caused in neck movement, neck pain, headache in patients with tension type headache and cervicogenic headache after application of sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique associated with interferential electrotherapy.

Full description

This study is based on the combined application of sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique associated with interferential electrotherapy improves symptoms in patients with tension type headache and cervicogenic headache.

The purposes of this study are:

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment based on the combined application of sub-occipital muscle inhibition technique associated with interferential electrotherapy in patients with tension type headache.
  • Evaluate the effects of treatment caused in upper cervical movement.
  • Evaluate the effects of treatment caused in neck pain.
  • Evaluate the effects of treatment caused in headache.

29 participants in 2 patient groups

Suboccipital inhibition
Experimental group
Description:
The intervention group will receive a session of 20 minutes (5 minutes for the patient's reception, 10 for treatment and the following 5 minutes for rest and hemodynamic stabilization), twice a week for 4 weeks. The intervention will consist of suboccipital muscle inhibition and interferential current on the occipital muscles.
Treatment:
Other: Suboccipital inhibition
Control
No Intervention group
Description:
No intervention will be done to the participants during the study. After study completion, the participants will be offered to receive the therapy.
