Abstract

 Background: Cervicogenic Headache (CGH) is a disabling condition associated with musculoskeletal impairment of the cervical region. There is limited evidence for the efficacy of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) on CGH. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the effect of MET on CGH patients. Methods: In this single-blinded, randomized, controlled study, thirty subjects with CGH aged 18-55years were randomly assigned into two groups, intervention group (MET in cervical muscles + infrared (IR) radiation) and control group (IR). Both groups received these interventions for 6 sessions, 3 times a week for two weeks. Outcome measures included Headache Index, upper cervical rotation range of motion (ROM), and deep upper cervical muscles Thickness. Results: In the intragroup analysis, the Headache Index and upper cervical rotation ROM were significantly different in the two groups (P < 0. 05), but in the intergroup analysis, only left upper cervical rotation ROM was significantly different (P < 0. 05). Additionally, all muscles Thickness had no significant difference in intragroup and intergroup analyses (P > 0. 05). The effect size was large in the MET group than that in the control group for ROM and Headache Index (d > 0. 7), but this was less than medium for muscle Thickness in the two groups (d < 0. 5). Conclusions: MET + IR is a suitable and durable approach for CGH treatment and increase of upper cervical rotation ROM rather than IR alone, but this approach cannot change the muscles Thickness significantly in 2 weeks.
