Abstract :

Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the effects of headache SNAG and reverse headache SNAG for the treatment of cervicogenic headache.
Study Design: A cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration: This study was conducted at Medicine department, POF hospital, Wah Cantt for the duration of seven months starting from March, 2020 to September, 2020.
Methodology: In our study we include samples of 50 patients who were having cervicogenic headache and their age ranges from 30 to 60 years. We noted demographic details (name, age, gender) of patients along with the necessary medical history. After collection of details, we use card allocation method to divide patients into two groups. Patients with Headache SNAG were in group A and patients with reverse headache SNAG were in group B. For the analysis of data SPSS v.20 was used.
Results: In our study we include samples of 50 patients. According to gender distribution 23 patients (43%) were females and 27 patients (57%) were males. 48% patients were having acute cervicogenic headache and 52% patients were having chronic cervicogenic headache. In both treatment approaches (Headache SNAG and reverse headache SNAG) no difference was found in results of headache scale after 4 weeks.
Conclusion: At the end of our study, we conclude that in the management of Cervicogenic headache the most effective thing is mobilization. In the reduction of pain and headache scale, headache SNAG is more effective as compared to the reverse headache.
