What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to compare the effects of Post Isometric Relaxation (PIR) and Reciprocal Inhibition (RI) in individuals with cervicogenic headache, a secondary headache originating from dysfunction of the cervical spine, particularly the upper cervical segments. Cervicogenic headache is characterized by unilateral head and neck pain, restricted cervical mobility, muscle tightness, and functional limitations that negatively affect daily activities and quality of life. The study will employ a randomized controlled trial involving 46 participants aged 18-45 years who meet the inclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: Group A will receive Post Isometric Relaxation, while Group B will receive Reciprocal Inhibition. Both groups will also receive a standard physiotherapy protocol consisting of hot packs, cervical isometric exercises, and C1-C2 Sustained Natura
