Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to determine the effect of ELDOA in relieving pain, improving ROM and functional disability in patients with cervicogenic headache. This study will add to the growing body of knowledge that if this technique yields comparable outcomes, it would be the alternative therapy. Moreover, it would add to the society as no literature is available on the effect of ELDOA technique in the management of Cervicogenic headache.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• (Numeric Pain Rating Scale).

  The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) measures the subjective intensity of pain. The NPRS is an eleven-point scale from 0 to 10. "0" = no pain and "10" = the most intense pain imaginable while the NPRS exhibited moderate reliability (ICC = 0.27-0.84)

  four weeks

• NDI (U) (Neck Disability Index)

  The neck disability index is a ten-item self-reported questionnaire that assesses pain and associated disability, with a total max score of 50 points . An Urdu version of neck disability index will use in this study. An intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) revealed excellent test-retest reliability for all items (ICC = 0.86-0.98) and total scores (ICC = 0.99) of the NDI-U.

  four weeks

• Inclinometer

  Cervical range of motion will be measured using inclinometer. It is a common instrument used to measure joint range of motion.
