About this trial

The primary objective of this study is to compare effects of SCS and METs on reduction of neck pain intensity and improvement in functional disability in individuals with CGH. The secondary objective is to assess the impact of both techniques on ROM in cervical spine

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

participants who fulfill the criteria of international headache society.

Disqualifiers

participants who have cervicogenic headache after cervical injury or head surgery.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Strain-counterstrain

    Other intervention

    This is a technique that uses gentle body positioning passively to treat muscles and joints pain. So, this can be effective for neck pain in patients with CGH

  • Muscle energy techniques

    Other intervention

    This technique uses patient's own muscles to treat muscles and joint restrictions. So, this technique can be prove affective for neck pain and limited range in patients with CGH
