Brief Summary:
Cervicogenic headache (CGH) is a widespread illness that results in excruciating pain and a sizable functional handicap. Deep cervical flexor muscle (DCFM) strength and endurance were also worse in CGH patients. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of manual therapy and pressure biofeedback-guided DCFM strength training on pain intensity and functional limitations in individuals with CGH.
Detailed Description:
The study followed a two-arms parallel group randomized comparative design, including sixty individuals with CGH, and they were allocated into two groups at random. For three consecutive weeks, in addition to the conventional treatment common to both groups, groups 1 and 2 received pressure biofeedback-guided DCFM strength training and manual therapy, respectively. At baseline, the first week, the second week, and the third week post intervention, pain intensity and functional limitations were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS), the number of headache days per week, and the headache disability inventory (HDI) questionnaire. The main effects of the intervention were evaluated for a between-group factor, within-group factor, and interaction between time and groups over/at multiple time points. Data was analyzed using an independent t-test, mixed design 2-way ANOVA, with keeping the level of significance 'p' at 0.05.
