This study looks at physical differences between people with cervicogenic headache (a headache that starts in the neck), people with chronic neck pain without headache, and healthy controls. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to better understand what causes the headache and which physical features are specific to it.
This study compares two types of neck stretching exercises to see which is better at reducing headaches that come from neck problems. It may help if your headaches are linked to your neck.
This study compares two gentle neck therapy techniques to see which better reduces headaches that start from the neck. It aims to help people with neck-related headaches move better and feel less pain.
This study tests a treatment that combines osteopathic care (a type of hands-on bodywork) with physiotherapy and education about pain. It aims to help people who get headaches that start in their neck, known as cervicogenic headaches.
This study compares two non-drug treatments for cervicogenic headaches (headaches caused by neck problems). One uses a hands-on technique to improve neck movement, and the other uses exercises to improve your body's sense of position. Both aim to reduce headache pain and improve neck function.
This trial tests whether a gentle hands-on therapy called myofascial release, alone or with exercises, can improve the neck curve, sleep, and mood in people whose headaches come from a neck problem. If you have headaches that start from your neck, this might help you find relief.
