ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at different techniques for treating cervicogenic headaches, which are headaches caused by problems in the neck. The researchers want to compare two specific methods called ventro-cephalic and dorso-caudal translatoric glides to see which one might be more effective in helping patients find relief. The trial is currently recruiting participants aged 18 to 44 years who have headaches that meet certain criteria and are related to neck problems.

To be eligible, participants should have headaches that started around the same time as a neck issue, show improvement when the neck problem improves, or cause pain that worsens with neck movements. They should not have migraine or tension-type headaches, a history of dizziness, or previous neck surgery. If you choose to participate, you can expect to receive one of the two treatment methods and help us learn more about how to effectively manage cervicogenic headaches. Your involvement could contribute to better treatment options for others suffering from similar conditions.
