Relaxing neck muscles for headaches from the neck
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
