Shock waves zapped neck pain to ease headaches

NCT ID NCT06879418

Summary

This study tested whether a treatment called radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy could reduce pain and disability from headaches that start in the neck. 135 adults with chronic neck-related headaches received either a low-dose, medium-dose, or fake version of the shock wave treatment, along with neck exercises. Researchers measured changes in headache disability and neck muscle activity to see which dose worked best.
