简要总结
The aim of our study is to determine the effect of ELDOA in relieving pain, improving ROM and functional disability in patients with cervicogenic headache. This study will add to the growing body of knowledge that if this technique yields comparable outcomes, it would be the alternative therapy. Moreover, it would add to the society as no literature is available on the effect of ELDOA technique in the management of Cervicogenic headache.
详细描述
Cervicogenic Headache (CEH) is mainly caused by neck or paravertebral soft tissue lesions. It is chronic headache that arises from the Atlanto-occipital and upper cervical joints and is perceived in one or more regions of the head or face. One of the known treatment options that create decompression at spinal segment level is called ELDOA it is described as a conditioning method involving a series of movements and body stretches to help correct body posture, rehabilitate people with injuries and prevent injuries

结局指标
主要结局
NDI (U) (Neck Disability Index)
时间窗: four weeks
The neck disability index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points . An Urdu version of neck disability index will use in this study. An intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) revealed excellent test-retest reliability for all items (ICC = 0.86-0.98) and total scores (ICC = 0.99) of the NDI-U.
Inclinometer
时间窗: four weeks
Cervical range of motion will be measured using inclinometer. It is a common instrument used to measure joint range of motion.
(Numeric Pain Rating Scale).
时间窗: four weeks
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures the subjective intensity of pain. The NPRS is an eleven-point scale from 0 to 10. "0" = no pain and "10" = the most intense pain imaginable while the NPRS exhibited moderate reliability (ICC = 0.27-0.84)
