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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If a clear link is found, it could point toward better posture-based therapies or preventive exercises for cervicogenic headache in young people.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply beyond the specific group of 17–18-year-old students studied.

Who is studied

The study will be conducted on fifty-six junior students diagnosed with cervicogenic headache associated with forward head posture. Patients were assigned based on the presence of FHP into two equal groups; Group I (with FHP) and Group II (without FHP). The sample size for this study was calculated using the G\*power program 3.1.9 (G power program version 3.1, Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf, Germany). The fifty-six junior students diagnosed with cervicogenic headache effect size for the sample size calculation was depending on the previous study (Althubaiti, 2022). Sample size calculation based on t-tests (Means: Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test; two groups), Type I error (α) = 0.05, power (1-β error probability) = 0.80, effect size Effect size d = 0.8345487 with a total sample size for 50 participants for 2 independent groups comparison Considering a 15% drop out rate, the appropriate minimum sample size for this study will be 56 patients (28 patients in each group as a minimum
