Manual therapy for neck-related dizziness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This study compares two hands-on treatment approaches—osteopathic manipulation and physiotherapy—for chronic neck pain, headaches, and dizziness caused by cervical dysfunction. If you qualify, you'll receive one of these treatments and help researchers understand which works better.
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 therapy techniques—Mulligan mobilization and myofascial release—to see which works better for headaches that start from the neck. If you have neck pain on one side and headaches that get worse with movement, this trial may help you find relief.
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.
