Официальное название

Influence of Osteopathic Intervention on Cervical Muscles in Tension Headaches in Women: Randomized Controlled Trial

Обзор

This study aims to understand whether there is any relationship between the intervention on the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid and suboccipital muscles in patients with chronic tension headaches.

Подробное описание

It is expected to find an improvement in the symptoms and frequency of tension headaches.

In this study, the investigators intend to see the effects of trapezius and sternocleidomastoid "stretching techniques", and "suboccipital inhibition" on tension headaches. To collect data, volunteers were asked to fill out the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6).

Вмешательства

• Другое Placebo Technique
  For the technique performed in the control group, the researcher will come into contact with the volunteers' chests. This contact will be maintained for the same period of time as the experimental group (6 minutes).
• Другое Stretching technique
  "Stretching technique" for the upper trapezius and sternocleidomastoid: the volunteer will be in supine position on the couch, the researcher will perform the technique from the contralateral side of the muscle to be treated, the hand will contact the ipsilateral shoulder to stabilize, meanwhile, with the other hand, contact the upper trapezius and perform a rhythmic pull in contralateral rotation. This technique is performed bilaterally.
• Другое Inhibition of the suboccipital
  "Inhibition of the suboccipital": the participant is in the supine position, the researcher will position himself behind the patients head. In this technique, contacts will be made on the suboccipital area with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers of both hands. Make a slight pull with your body backwards and wait that there is relaxation of muscular tensions.
