Immediate Effects of Suboccipital Muscle Release Combined With Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides in Patients With Chronic Tension Type Headache
Headache disorder characterized by recurrent headache are among the most common disoredrs of the nervous system. Tension type headache is widely recognized kind of headache that affects 80% of the individuals. Its underlying cause has not been clearly distinguished. It is managed both pharmacology and non-pharmacology which includes dry needling, acupuncture, manual techniques and massage. Several studies conducted which showed that both the soft tissue muscle inhibition and joint mobilization techniques are effective in decreasing pain. But there is lack of evidence which shows combined effects of soft tissue muscle inhibition and sustained natural apophyseal glides(SNAGS) in chronic tension type headache. so this study will compare the effects of soft tissue muscle release and SNAGS on pain intensity and cervical range of motion.
