Detailed Description: This study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in Al-Khidmat Foundation Sahiwal The study will be completed within the time duration of six months A nonprobability convenience sampling technique will be used to collect the data The sample size of 30 patients will be taken in this study aged 20-to 50 years will be allocated to two groups Group A Jones technique and Group B cross friction massage Strain counter strain technique also known as the Jones technique will be performed with the patient laid supine on the treatment table taking them to a position of comfort by extending side-bending and rotating the head away ESARA from the TP until the TP pain has reduced Continues to monitor maintaining the patients position for 90 seconds After 90 seconds have elapsed the patients head should be slowly and passively returned to a neutral position with 3 sessionsweek for 6 weeks

Group B will get cross friction massage for 15-20 minutes Participants will be treated 3 times per week for 6 weeks Pre and Post-treatment readings will be taken in 1st session and 6th week respectively Assessment will be done via a 6-item Headache Impact scale and neck disability index The Neck Disability Index will be used to examine neck pain intensity and cervicogenic headache symptoms The 6-item Headache Impact Test scale will be used to examine headache severity and its adverse effects on social life and functions A goniometer will be used to assess the rotation range of motion
