ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether adding a treatment called the Jones Technique to another therapy known as Mulligan Therapy can help people who have cervicogenic headaches. These headaches start in the neck and cause pain on one side of the head. The study aims to see if combining these treatments can reduce headache pain and improve neck movement.

People who might join the study are adults between 20 and 60 years old who have headaches caused by neck problems, especially if their pain comes from pressure on certain neck joints or neck movements. Participants should have had headaches at least once a week for three months, with a certain level of pain and some difficulty using their neck. The study will not include people with other types of headaches (like migraines), serious neck conditions, recent neck injuries or surgeries, or certain health issues like high blood pressure or bone diseases. If eligible, participants can expect to receive these therapies and have their headache pain and neck function monitored to see if the combined treatment helps. This study is not yet recruiting, so interested individuals should check back for updates.
