Summary

The aim of the study is to compare Back School Based Intervention with Cranio- Cervical muscle training in participants with Cervicogenic headache. The study wants to investigate that which intervention helps to mange pain, improve posture and reduce disability. The study aims to answer the question:

* How effective is Back School Based intervention on pain, posture and disability in computer users with Cervicogenic headache compared to Cranio-cervical Muscle Training? Participants will
* Attend the treatment sessions of the group in which they are placed.
* Take treatment session two times a week for eight weeks.
* Participants will be asked about their pain and activities throughout the study.

Conditions

  • Cervicogenic Headache

Interventions

OTHER

Back School Based Intervention

* Patient will receive 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks for a total of 16 sessions. Each session lasted for 35 minutes. * Conventional Physical therapy will be provided in which stretching of the tight muscles which include SCM, upper trapezius, levator scapulae, scalene, sub occipitals, pectoralis minor, and pectoralis major. Neck stretches, chin tucks, scapular squeezes, and upper back strengthening exercises with 5 repetitions will be performed. Trigger points of sub occipitals, SCM, and temporalis are released because they cause headache. * Back School Based Intervention includes both theoretical and practical part. Patients had total of 16 sessions out of which 14 will be practical one and remaining two will be theoretical one. In theoretical part main focus is on the patient education and guidance. In practical part resistive exercises of increase intensity in each session will be performed in which main focus is on the strengthening

OTHER

Cranio-Cervical muscle Training

* Patient will receive 2 sessions per week for 8 weeks for a total of 16 sessions. Each session lasted for 35 minutes. Conventional physical therapy will be same in both groups * Cranio- cervical muscle training session main focus is on the strengthening and posture correction. Cervical flexion, extension and stabilization exercises will be performed which helps to strength muscles and helps to neutralize posture and ultimately disability which is due to headache will be reduced.
