简要总结
Headache is an important health problem. It is the commonest type of all signs of illness in the people worldwide. Cervicogenic Headache is commonest musculoskeletal condition in physiotherapy practice. This study's main objective was to evaluate effectiveness of Dry Needle with exercise in decreasing pain and improving function in patients with Cervicogenic Headache.
详细描述
50 patients were included and assigned randomly to group A and B. Group-A received Dry Needle plus exercise and group-B received Dry Needle alone. Baseline assessment was taken before and after treatment; treatment was given for four weeks twice a week. Outcome indicators were measured by Visual analog scale, Neck Disability Index and Cervical Range Of Motion.
The study findings indicate that both groups improve the symptoms of a headache. Clinically better improvement was indicated by Dry Needle plus exercise group than Dry Needle alone group. As per our results, Dry Needle plus exercise should be preferred for the management of cervicogenic headache over Dry Needle alone.

结局指标
主要结局
Neck Disability Index
时间窗: four weeks
The Neck Disability index contains 10 items, seven related to activities of daily living, two related to pain, and one item related to concentration. Each item is scored ranging from 0 (no pain or disability) to 5 (severe pain and disability); and the total score is expressed as a percentage, with higher scores corresponding to greater disability.
Visual Analogue Scale
时间窗: four weeks
Visual analogue scale is a subjective outcome measurement where patients judge the intensity of their pain on a scale of 0-10, which is in the form of a 10cm straight line . On this 0-10 scale, zero denotes no pain and ten denotes severe pain intensity
次要结局
- Cervical Range of Motion(four weeks)
