First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two different manual therapy techniques for people whose headaches come from their neck. 72 adults received either Mulligan SNAG (a gentle glide movement) or Active Release Technique (a soft tissue method) three times a week for four weeks. Researchers measured pain, headache impact, and neck function at the start, after treatment, and again at eight weeks to see which approach worked better.
