Neck mobilization for cervicogenic headache relief
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two gentle neck therapy techniques to see which better reduces headaches that start from the neck. It aims to help people with neck-related headaches move better and feel less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You have pain and stiffness on one side of your neck
- A doctor has confirmed the headache is coming from your neck using a specific neck movement test
- Your headaches are mainly on one side and can be triggered by extending (looking up) your neck
- You do not have disc problems, nerve compression, recent neck injury, whiplash, vestibular issues, or other headache types like migraine or tension-type

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether adding a type of hands-on therapy (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to another neck treatment (Mulligan therapy) helps with headaches that come from the neck. It may reduce pain and improve neck movement.
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 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 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 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.
