Comparing neck test results in cervicogenic headache patients
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares people with cervicogenic headache (headache from neck problems) to see if a simple neck test can tell them apart. It aims to help doctors diagnose this type of headache better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 is testing a method to see which neck pain patients benefit most from manual therapy and exercise. You may be eligible if you have neck pain (with or without arm symptoms) and have not had recent whiplash, neck surgery, or certain other conditions.
This trial tests two different gentle hand-on-neck techniques to see which works better for headaches caused by a neck problem. It may help if your headache is linked to neck stiffness or injury.
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.
This study looks at whether a specific neck/head posture (forward head position) is related to cervicogenic headaches. It may help researchers understand what posture and neck factors contribute to these headaches.
This study tests if manual therapy (hands-on treatment) can help people whose headaches start from neck problems. If you have headaches at least once a week and limited neck movement, this trial may be an option.
