Laser therapy for cervicogenic headache pain and quality of life
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if high-power laser treatment on the upper neck muscles can reduce headache pain and improve quality of life in people with cervicogenic headaches (headaches that start from the neck).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if different types of low-level laser light can help reduce headaches caused by neck issues. It is a non-invasive treatment option for people whose headaches have lasted at least three months.
This trial tests whether different doses of high-power laser therapy can relieve neck pain that isn't caused by a specific injury. It's for people with moderate to severe neck pain that limits movement, and who are willing to avoid pain medications during the study.
This study tests whether high-power laser therapy can help people with cervical radiculopathy (nerve pain from the neck). The laser is applied to the neck to reduce pain and improve function, and the trial will also see if it affects the shape of the discs in the spine.
This trial tests whether high-power laser therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with a herniated disc in the lower back that causes leg pain. It aims to offer a non-surgical treatment option.
This study compares two types of laser treatment to help people with chronic jaw muscle pain (myofascial pain). Researchers want to see which laser approach works better at reducing pain and improving jaw function.
This trial tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce long-lasting neck pain and improve daily function. It may help people whose neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and who meet specific pain and disability scores.
