Relation Between Cervicogenic Headache and Forward Head Posture
Cervicogenic Headache Among Subjects With Forward Head Posture: a Correlational Cross-sectional Study.
Cairo University
400 participants
Dec 10, 2024
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study will be designed to determining whether there is a relationship between CGH and cervical posture which may potentially provide physical therapists with evidence supporting the assessment and treatment of abnormal posture in this patient group.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Subjects with Craniovertebral angle (CVA) less than 50 degrees. (Gavin Morrison, 2018).
- University students who were taking consecutive lectures for 3 hours and who worked forward for 3 hours or more on laptop (Arfa Naz et al, 2018).
Exclusion Criteria2
- History of significant medical conditions that might be potential contraindications to physical examination of the cervical spine, including known cancer, osteoporosis, nerve root symptoms, inflammatory or infectious diseases affecting the neck instability of the cervical spine, or reported potential vertebrobasilar insufficiency symptoms (Peter K. Farmer et al, 2015).
- History of cervical spine injures (fracture, sprain, strain, whiplash), cervical spondylosis, obvious spinal deformities, neurological and neuromuscular disorders, TMJ dysfunction, cervicothoracic and lumbar kyphoscoliosis, rheumatic disease, torticollis, and balance disorders (B. Shaghayegh fard et al, 2015).

Interventions
Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable information about physical objects and the environment through the process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other phenomena. Flexion rotation (FRT) test: FRT is a manual examination technique with high sensitivity and specificity. It is performed with the patient in supine by passively taking the cervical spine into full flexion. End-range cervical flexion imparts ligamentous tension that impedes movement at vertebral segments below C2.7 Maintaining the flexion position, the patient's head is then rotated to each side until the patient reports pain or the operator determines that end of motion has been achieved. It is then determined if a restriction in ROM is present.
