Официальное название
"Myofascial Release With or Without Exercise for Cervicogenic Headache"
Обзор
This study will investigate whether myofascial release therapy alone or in combination with therapeutic exercises can improve cervical spine alignment, measured by cervical Cobb angle on X-ray, in patients with cervicogenic headache. The research will also examine potential effects on sleep quality and psychological factors."
Вмешательства
- Другое Exercises (Endurance and strengthening)
Neck Strengthening and Endurance Exercises with Hot Packs Preparation: A moist hot pack will be applied for 10-15 minutes to the cervical region before exercise to reduce stiffness and enhance tissue extensibility. Exercise program: Deep cervical flexor training: Chin tucks in supine and sitting, progressing to sustained isometric holds. Extensor and scapular stabilizer training: Prone head lifts and shoulder retraction exercises with light resistance. Endurance training: Low-load, high-rep - Другое Myofascial release technique
Myofascial Release Technique Target areas: Suboccipital muscles, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and deep cervical fascia. Method: A physiotherapist will perform gentle, sustained manual pressure and low-load, long-duration stretching on restricted cervical and upper thoracic fascia to reduce tension and improve soft tissue mobility. Duration and frequency: Each session will include 30'to 50 minutes of myofascial release, delivered 3 times per week for the study period for 6 weeks. Ration

- Previous cervical spine surgery or fusion at any level.
- Red flag symptoms indicating serious pathology (e.g., progressive neurological deficit, unexplained weight loss, fever, history of cancer).

- Severe osteoporosis or metabolic bone disease that contraindicates cervical X-ray imaging.
- Vascular disorders such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency or carotid artery disease.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding (due to radiation exposure during cervical radiography).
- Unstable psychiatric conditions (e.g., severe depression, psychosis) that may interfere with participation or adherence.
- Recent physiotherapy or manual therapy targeting the cervical region within the past 6 weeks, or planned during the study outside the protocol.
- Use of botulinum toxin or steroid injections to the neck or head region in the past 6 months.
