Neck posture and muscle strength in teen headaches
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the position of your head and the endurance of your neck muscles relate to headaches that come from the neck. It may help find better ways to understand and treat this type of headache in teenagers.

This study looks at whether a specific neck/head posture (forward head position) is related to cervicogenic headaches. It may help researchers understand what posture and neck factors contribute to these headaches.
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.
This study looks at physical differences between people with cervicogenic headache (a headache that starts in the neck), people with chronic neck pain without headache, and healthy controls. By comparing these groups, researchers hope to better understand what causes the headache and which physical features are specific to it.
This study compares two types of neck stretching exercises to see which is better at reducing headaches that come from neck problems. It may help if your headaches are linked to your neck.
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.
