Neck glide techniques for headache from neck problem
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 44 years old

- Moving your neck or pressing on spots makes your headache worse
- You do not have migraines, tension headaches, vertigo, or dizziness

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 tests two types of neck exercises to treat headaches that start in the neck and travel to the head. The exercises focus on strengthening neck muscles and retraining how your neck moves to reduce pain.
This study tests two types of gentle hand-on treatments for dizziness that comes from problems in your neck (cervicogenic dizziness). It compares standard neck release techniques with a more specific movement-based treatment to see which works better.
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 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 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.
