NCT ID NCT07763886
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether forward head posture, reduced endurance of neck muscles, and impaired neck joint position sense are connected to cervicogenic headache in late adolescents. Researchers will measure posture, muscle endurance, and proprioception in 100 students aged 17–18 who have been diagnosed with cervicogenic headache. The goal is to understand how these factors relate, which could inform future prevention or treatment approaches.
