Brief Summary:
Tension-type headaches characterized by a dull aching head pain are one of the most prevalent forms of headache disorders worldwide Although they are typically not associated with severe disability or neurological symptoms they can significantly impact an individuals quality of life due to chronic pain and discomfort Non-pharmacological interventions such as manual therapy techniques have gained prominence in headache management offering potential relief and functional improvements for patients This study aims to investigate the comparative effectiveness of two widely used manual therapy approaches Mulligan mobilization and Active Release Technique ART in alleviating pain reducing disability and enhancing range of motion ROM in patients suffering from tension-type headaches Understanding which technique offers superior outcomes is vital for optimizing headache management strategies
Detailed Description:
This randomized controlled trial RCT will recruit adult participants diagnosed with tension-type headaches according to standardized criteria Eligible individuals will be randomly assigned to one of three groups The Mulligan mobilization group the ART group and the control group Each group will undergo a specific manual therapy intervention protocol administered by trained therapists The primary outcome measures will include assessments of pain intensity via VAS disability levels via Headache disability index HDI Stress levels will be assessed by PSS Perceived Stress Scale and ROM of the cervical spine by using the Flexion rotation test Secondary outcomes will encompass patient-reported measures of headache frequency medication usage and overall quality of life Data will be collected at baseline immediately post-intervention and at follow-up intervals Statistical analyses will be conducted to assess and compare the effects of the two interventions on the primary and secondary outcomes using ANOVA from SPSS software thereby addressing the research question regarding their relative efficacy This study holds the potential to enhance the evidence base for non-pharmacological headache management and guide clinicians and patients toward more effective treatment choices
