Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •All participants must be between 18 and 50 years of age. A study by Nilsson (1995\) used participants between the ages of 20\-60 years. The age criterion concerning this study has been lowered to account for people over the age of 50 being more reliant on pain medication. According to Biondi (2005\), the mean age for individuals’ presenting with CGH is 42,9 years of age.
- •Diagnostic criteria for CGH has been established, with authors’ such as Biondi (2005\); Becker (2010\); Page (2011\); Chaibi et al. (2015\), agreeing that CGH arise from dysfunction of the upper cervical spine and neck musculature.
- •Participants must have a minimum of three diagnostic criteria (listed below) in order to qualify for the study (Sjaastad and Fredriksen 2000\). Participant diagnostic criteria will be evaluated by the researcher and clinician on duty.
- •?Unilateral headache without side shift.
- •?Precipitation of headache by neck movement, sustained awkward head positioning or by external pressure
- •on the upper cervical or occipital area on the symptomatic side
- •?Restricted range of motion in the upper cervical spine.
- •?Ipsilateral non\-radicular neck, shoulder and arm pain.
- •?Upper cervical spine facet fixation.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Contraindications to CSM determined during the case history, physical examination and cervical regional
- •examination. Examples include:
- •Vertebral\-basilar artery insuffiency.
- •Atherosclerosis of major vessels.
- •Metabolic disorders such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia and clotting disorders.
- •Tumours(lung, thyroid, breast and bone).
- •Bone infections( Osteomyelitis, tuberculosis)
- •Trauma(Instability, fractures, severe sprains and strains).
- •Arthritis( Any arthrtide ).
- •Neurological complications.
