NCT ID NCT07168512
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026 · Updated 31 times
Summary
This study tests whether myofascial release (a type of muscle stretching) alone or combined with neck exercises can improve spine alignment and reduce headaches in people with cervicogenic headache—a headache caused by neck problems. Researchers will enroll 100 adults aged 20-55 and measure changes in neck curve on X-rays, sleep quality, and mood. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to manage this type of headache.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

myofascial release therapy and neck exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug treatment to ease cervicogenic headaches and improve sleep.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may be biased or not apply to everyone. The main measure is spine angle, not headache relief directly.
