Sponsor's own description

Cervicogenic headache is a very incessant issue that is often faced by general population.Cervicogenic headache is a significant issue in patients with upper cervical dysfunction. However, its physical therapy management is a subject of debate.As the Comparative effects of SNAGs half rotation technique and Gong's mobilizations has never been investigated in patients with cervicogenic headache and neck pain , the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of these treatments on two study groups(Group A\&B) respectively. This study will be a randomized clinical trial and will be conducted in D.H.Q Sahiwal . The study will be completed within the time duration of six months .Non- probability convenience sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 30 patients will be taken in this study , aged 25-45 years, will allocate to two groups, Group A (Sustained neutral apophyseal glide half rotation technique) Group B (Gong's mobilization).cervical Sustained neutral apophyseal glide half rotation technique (SNAG) half rotation technique will be performed with the patient sitting on a chair in the erect posture. The thumb placement of therapist will be over the transverse process of C1. Then, glide will be applied 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 6 weeks.Group B will be treated three times in a week for 4 weeks.Group B will get Gong's mobilization for 15-20 mins.Participants will be treated 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Pre and Post treatment readings will be taken in 1st session and 6th week respectively. Assessment will done via flexion rotation test (FRT),6-item Headache Impact scale and neck disability index. Neck Disability Index will use to examine neck pain intensity and cervicogenic headache symptoms.
