Neck therapy shows promise for headache relief

This study tested whether adding a specific manual therapy technique called Passive Physiological Intervertebral Movements to a standard exercise program provides extra relief for people with cervicogenic headache, a headache that starts from the neck. Sixty-four adults with this condition were split into two groups: one received the manual therapy plus exercise, and the other received exercise alone. Both groups had eight sessions over four weeks, and researchers measured pain, disability, and quality of life right after treatment and again three months later.
