Mulligan vs Myofascial Release for Neck-Related Headaches
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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 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 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.
