• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 54 (estimated)
• Sponsor: University of Faisalabad · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 20 Years – 60 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare effects of SCS and METs on reduction of neck pain intensity and improvement in functional disability in individuals with CGH. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of both techniques on ROM in cervical spine

Conditions

• Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Strain-counterstrain	This is a technique that uses gentle body positioning passively to treat muscles and joints pain. So, this can be effective for neck pain in patients with CGH
OTHER	Muscle energy techniques	This technique uses patient's own muscles to treat muscles and joint restrictions. So, this technique can be prove affective for neck pain and limited range in patients with CGH
