No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Sternocleidomastoid syndrome is often characterized by referred pain in other areas. Like all muscles, the SCM can develop tight, and non-contracting bands called trigger points that can refer pain elsewhere. For the SCM, the trigger point referral areas are the eye and forehead, the back of the head (occiput), front of the neck, cheek, and side of the head. Trigger points can be treated by direct manual massage, dry needling, or platelet-poor plasma injection.

Conditions

  • Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

OTHER

trigger point pressure

The midpoint of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with abundant nerve distribution and the onset and endpoint of the sternocleidomastoid muscle were used as acupoints, which can relieve localised muscle spasms and promote nerve nutrition.

OTHER

neck exercises

Manual Cervical Traction Technique and others
