Neck nerve treatment for headache from the neck
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a procedure called pulsed radiofrequency on a nerve in your neck to see if it helps headaches that start from the neck. If standard treatments haven't worked for you, this might be an option.

This study tests whether adding a special neck muscle relaxation technique to posture correction exercises helps reduce headaches that come from the neck. If you have frequent one-sided headaches that start in your neck, this treatment might help you feel better and move more easily.
This study tests whether a high-power laser treatment applied to the upper neck can reduce headache-related muscle activity and improve quality of life for people with cervicogenic headaches. If you have neck-related headaches that spread to the back of your head, this treatment might help ease the pain and improve your daily functioning.
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 non-drug treatments for cervicogenic headaches (headaches caused by neck problems). One uses a hands-on technique to improve neck movement, and the other uses exercises to improve your body's sense of position. Both aim to reduce headache pain and improve neck function.
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.
