Summary

Cervicogenic headache is a common headache that causes disability and affects everyday activities. Headache related disorders are the second most common reason for years lived with disability all over the world. According to the latest International Headache Society model, cervicogenicheadache (CGH) is a secondary headache having C1-C2 dysfunction. There is marked limitation in cervical ROM specially rotation. Treatment indicated involves use of electrotherapy and thermal modalities. In addition, use of different manual therapy techniques are advocated to eliminate the root cause i.e. C1-C2 dysfunction. Maitland mobilizations for cervical spine have been found to be effective in treating CGH patients. Maitland mobilizations uses oscillatory mobilizations and has four grades. Kaltenborn, on the other hand, applies sustained stretches and has 3 grades.So, the study will be focusing on comparing the effectiveness of these two mobilizations on cervicogenic headache patients.

Conditions

• Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Maitland Oscillatory Mobilization	Maitland Posteroanterior unilateral vertebral pressure and Maitland cervical rotation technique will be used.3 sets of 15 repetitions. Each set is of 30 seconds and each repetition is given for 2 seconds.
PROCEDURE	Kaltenborn Sustained Stretch Mobilization	Kaltenborn sustained stretch mobilizations. 3 sets of 15 repetitions for 3 seconds. * Frequency: 3 times a week for 2 weeks. 6 sessions in total. * Mobilizations will be performed in Grade 1 and then progressed to 2 and 3. * Kaltenborn technique used will be atlas-axis rotation
PROCEDURE	Conventional therapy	Moist heat, TENS, Neck Muscle Stretching, Neck muscle isometrics
