Efficacy of Cranial Base Release Technique on Postural Instability In Cervicogenic Headache Patients

Abstract

Pain which is arising from the neuromusculoskeletal structure of upper cervical spine is known as Cervicogenic Headache (CGH). One of the common reasons associated with all forms of headaches is the presence of trigger points to the posterior sub-occipital muscle which is directly connected with posture and balance. The main purpose of the study was to explorethe outcome of cranial base release (CBR) technique on postural instability in the patients with CGH.Methods: In this experimental study thirty patients with cervicogenic headache were treated with MFR. Treatment was given 4 days per week for 4 weeks, 20 minutes per session.Wintrack was used to assess postural instability before and after the treatment protocol.
