Abstract

Introduction: Cervicogenic headache (CGH) may originate from the C1-C2 zygapophyseal joints. CGH is often associated with loss of range of motion (ROM), specific to this segment, and measurable by the cervical flexion-rotation test (CFRT). The main purposes of the study were: 1) to investigate the immediate effect of C1-C2 rotation SNAG mobilizations plus C1-C2 self-SNAG rotation exercise for patients with CGH and 2) to explore the link between the CFRT results and treatment response.

Methods: A prospective quasi-experimental single-arm design was used where patients with CGH received eight physical therapy treatments using a C1-C2 rotational SNAG technique combined with a C1-C2 self-SNAG rotation exercise over a four-week period. Outcome measures were pain intensity/frequency and duration, active cervical ROM, CFRT, neck-related and headache-related self-perceived physical function, fear-avoidance beliefs, pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia.

Results: The intervention produced strong effects on pain intensity, CFRT, physical function and pain catastrophizing. Moderate improvement was noted on active cervical ROM and on fear-avoidance beliefs and kinesiophobia. No link was found between pre-intervention CFRT ROM and treatment response.

Conclusion: SNAG mobilization combined with a self-SNAG exercise resulted in favorable outcomes for the treatment of CGH on patient-important and biomechanical outcomes, as well as pain-related cognitive-affective factors.
