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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 35 years old.
- You have headaches that come from your neck (cervicogenic headache).
- You have tender, tight spots in your neck or shoulder muscles (trigger points).
- Your headache is on one side only (not both sides).
- You have not had surgery on your head or neck before.
- You do not have other headache types like migraine or tension-type headaches.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two hands-on techniques (the Jones technique and cross friction massage) to see which is better at relieving headaches that start from the neck. If you have frequent headaches with neck pain and forward head posture, this trial may help find relief.
This trial tests whether adding a gentle hands-on technique (the Jones technique) to standard Mulligan therapy helps people with headaches that start from the neck. If you have one-sided headaches that get worse with neck pressure or movement, this treatment might bring relief.
This trial tests whether releasing the sternocleidomastoid neck muscle on top of the usual suboccipital muscle release helps reduce headaches that start from the neck. If you have headaches with neck stiffness and pain rating of 4 or more, this study may help find a more effective treatment.
This study compares two hands-on treatments—Graston (a tool-assisted massage) and myofascial release (a stretching technique)—for people with headaches that start from the neck. The goal is to see which helps more with pain and movement.
This study tests whether adding a special hands-on technique (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to standard neck therapy can better relieve headaches coming from the neck. It may be a good fit if your headache is on one side and linked to neck stiffness.
This study compares two gentle hands-on therapies (strain-counterstrain and muscle energy techniques) to see which one better reduces neck pain and disability in people with cervicogenic headache.
