简要总结
Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a unilateral headache localized in the neck or occipital region, projecting to the frontal and temporal regions. In this study 84 subjects will be included in the age group from 18 to 60 years. The primary outcome measures are Headache Disability Index, Neck Disability Index, Visual Analogue Scale and Numerical Pain Rating Scale . The secondary outcome measures are cervical ROM, deep cervical flexors motor performance and headache duration. The outcome measures will be analyzed in the time periods of 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 2 months. The data will be collected and analyzed further.
Directional Hypothesis:
1)Transverse glide to C2 is a safe and effective method for reducing duration and frequency of cervicogenic headache.
2)Transverse glide to C2 is effective in increasing cervical ROM.
3)Transverse glide to C2 has a significant effect in boosting the motor performance of the deep cervical flexors.
Null Hypothesis:
1)Transverse glide to C2 is not effective in reducing duration and frequency of cervicogenic headache.
2)Transverse glide to C2 is not effective in increasing Cervical ROM.
3)Transverse glide to C2 does not contribute to boosting the motor performance of the deep cervical flexors.
