Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate the effect of lumbar motor control training exercise on headache frequency, duration, intensity and neck functional disability in cervicogenic headache patients

Conditions

  • Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

OTHER

lumbar motor control exercises

the patients will receive lumbar motor control exercises in the form of three exercises (Abdominal draw in maneuver, side-bridge, and quadruped) and the level of difficulty increased each week. For all exercises, the number of repetitions stayed the same, but the difficulty increased each week, and we progressed to the advanced level of each of the three exercises. This training achieves co-contraction of the local/deep stabilizing muscles (Transversus abdominis and multifidus) and strengthening the global/large spinal stabilizers (erector spinae and obliques).

OTHER

Cervical stabilization exercises

The exercise program consisted of an axial elongation exercise, cranio-cervical flexion exercise, cervical extension exercise, and cervical-scapulothoracic strengthening exercise. The exercise program progressed based on the exercise tolerance of the patients by increasing the repetition of the exercise (10 reps to 15 reps to 20 reps). And for the resistive exercise, the participants change to an elastic band with greater resistance (progress to the next color resistance band). Exercises were performed for 20 min/session, and an exercise log recording the date and repetition of the exercises was maintained by the therapist for each participant.
