简要总结
Intra-group analysis for the NDI, pressure algometer and the CVA found statistically significant post-treatment differences in all treatment groups (p < 0.001). The spinal manipulation group showed the greatest percentage improvement regarding the subjective data NDI (49.54%) and pressure algometer (133.80%). The soft tissue group showed the greatest percentage improvement regarding the objective CVA (24.93%). There was no statistical evidence of an additive effect of when the two treatment approaches were used simultaneously

入选标准
- •In order to be included into the study, participants needed to comply with the following criteria:
- •Symptomatic males and females who have a forward head posture. Patients are considered to have a forward head posture when their head and cervical spine leans anteriorly to the plumb line that passes the lateral malleolus in sagittal view.9
- •Participants between the ages of 18 and 50 years. These are the individuals who are most susceptible to developing a forward head posture due to continual studying positions, work positions and sleeping positions.10
- •Participants had to be suffering from tension-type headaches. The diagnostic criteria for tension-type headaches, according to the International Headache Society are:11
- •A)At least 10 previous headache episodes fulfilling criteria B through D.
- •B)Headaches lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to seven days.
- •C)At least two of the following characteristics:
- •- A pressing or tightening (non-pulsating) quality around the head;
- •- Mild to moderate intensity;
- •- Bilateral location; and
- •- No aggravation from walking stairs or similar routine activities.
- •D)Absence of the following:
- •- Nausea or vomiting; and
- •- Phonophobia and photophobia; one may be present but not both.
排除标准
- •Participants were excluded if they presented with the following:
- •Any known congenital anomalies that can result in a forward head posture e.g. wedge vertebrae.
- •Contraindication to cervical spine manipulative therapy.
- •History of cervical spine surgery.
- •Participants demonstrating a forward head posture but are asymptomatic for headaches.
- •Red flags of headaches
