Release technique and exercises for cervicogenic headache
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle hands-on therapy called myofascial release, alone or with exercises, can improve the neck curve, sleep, and mood in people whose headaches come from a neck problem. If you have headaches that start from your neck, this might help you find relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
