Summary
Headache is a common health problem. The most common headaches worldwide are migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cervicogenic headache (CGH). Due to the close anatomical relationship between the head and the cervical region, neck pain accompanies these headaches. The effects of cervical stabilization training including all of the cervical regions, thoracic regions, and the upper extremities in individuals with headaches are not yet known.
Detailed description
Headache is a common health problem. The most common headaches worldwide are migraine, tension-type headache (TTH), and cervicogenic headache (CGH). Due to the close anatomical relationship between the head and the cervical region, neck pain accompanies these headaches. Most of the previous studies examined the effects of exercise programs such as Cranio-Cervical Flexion Exercises (CCFE), posture exercises, muscle strengthening, and stretching exercises of the neck and shoulder on headaches. These studies presented the beneficial effects of CCFE which mostly targeted strengthening the superficial neck and shoulder muscles. However, the effects of cervical stabilization training including all of the cervical regions, thoracic regions, and the upper extremities in individuals with headaches are not yet known.
Conditions
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Cervical stabilization exercises | Patients learned the activation of deep cervical flexor and extensor muscles. Then, during the activity of deep cervical muscles, superficial cervical muscles and upper extremity muscles were also strengthened. Thus, it was aimed to strengthen all neck muscles and upper extremity muscles in different positions synchronously and to increase their endurance. |
