Effects of Cervical SNAG Half Rotation Technique in Cervicogenic Headache Patients.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cervical SNAGs along with conventional therapy and Conventional Therapy for Cervicogenic Headache. Completed, enrolled 66 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of cervical sustained natural apophyseal glide half rotation technique in patients with cervicogenic headache. Not many researches have focused specifically on the cervical sustained natural apophyseal glide half rotation technique and this study intends to see its effect in the cervicogenic headache patients.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
cervical SNAG half rotation technique will be performed with the patient sitting on a chair in the erect posture. The therapist placed his thumb over thumb over the transverse process of C1. Then, he glided ventrally with active rotation of the restricted site 10 times holding for 10 seconds with overpressure at end of the rotation with 30 second rest in between each repetition and 3 session/week for 4 weeks. * Conventional therapy will include: * Hot pack over the cervical region for 10 minutes. * TENS for 10 minutes. * Furthermore, general stretching the upper cervical muscles will be done with 5 repetitions with 3 sessions/week for 4 weeks. * Isometric cervical extensor exercise with 10 seconds hold for 10 times will be done. * Cervical flexor strengthening will be done 10 times in sitting position.
* Patients in this group will undergo only conventional therapy which will include: * Hot pack for 15 minutes. * TENS for 10 minutes. * Furthermore, general stretching the upper cervical muscles will be done with 5 repetitions each 3 sessions/week for 4 weeks. * Isometric cervical extensor exercise with 10 seconds hold for 10 times will be done. * Cervical flexor strengthening will be given to the patient by the therapist, 10 times in sitting position.
