Summary
This study compares two non-drug treatments for people with chronic neck pain, dizziness, and headaches caused by cervicocranial dysfunction. Fifty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either osteopathic manipulative treatment or standard physiotherapy. Researchers will measure changes in headache impact, dizziness disability, neck disability, and stress after four weeks to see which approach works better.
