Neck headaches linked to nerve pain? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07292181

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study compared 72 adults with cervicogenic headache (headache from the neck) to healthy volunteers. Researchers used questionnaires to measure central sensitization (overactive pain signaling) and neuropathic pain (nerve pain). The goal was to see if these pain mechanisms are more common in people with cervicogenic headache and how they relate to sleep, mood, and daily function.
