NCT ID NCT07518108
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding special fascia exercises or breathing exercises to standard neck care can help people with cervicogenic headache, a headache that starts from neck problems. 72 adults aged 18-60 will be split into three groups: standard care alone, standard care plus fascia exercises, or standard care plus breathing exercises. The goal is to see if these extra exercises reduce headache impact and frequency over 12 weeks.
