Pressure techniques for cervicogenic headache
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial compares two different pressure techniques (ischemic compression and the Jones technique) to see which better relieves head pain that starts from the neck (cervicogenic headache). It may help if you are an adult aged 25 to 35 with neck-related headaches and specific tender points in your muscles.

This study tests whether adding a gentle muscle-relaxing technique (Jones technique) to a standard manual therapy (Mulligan therapy) is better than Mulligan therapy alone for people with cervicogenic headache – headaches that start from the neck. If you're eligible, you'll get hands-on treatment to reduce your headache pain and improve neck movement.
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 study tests whether adding a special neck muscle relaxation technique to posture correction exercises helps reduce headaches that come from the neck. If you have frequent one-sided headaches that start in your neck, this treatment might help you feel better and move more easily.
This study compares two hands-on treatments—Graston technique (using special tools to massage muscles) and myofascial release (deep tissue massage)—to see which works better for headaches that start from neck problems. If you qualify, you may get one of these treatments to help reduce your headache pain.
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.
