Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Subjects diagnosed with cervicogenic headache according to established diagnostic criteria, third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3). The ICHD-3 criteria for cervicogenic headache are as follows: 1. Any headache fulfilling criterion C 2. Clinical and/or imaging evidence of a lesion or disorder in the cervical spine or soft tissues of the neck that can cause headache 3. Evidence of cause of headache demonstrated by at least two of these: 3.1 Headache has developed in temporal relation to the appearance of the lesion or the onset of the cervical disorder 3.2 Headache has significantly improved or resolved in unison with improvement in or the resolution of the cervical lesion or disorder 3.3 Cervical range of motion is reduced, and provocative maneuvers may significantly worsen the headache 3.4 Headache is abolished following diagnostic blockade of a cervical structure or its nerve supply 4. Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis. History of neck pain occurring for more than three months and joint position error of more than 3 in at least two out of four directions of neck movements (flexion, extension, left and right rotation)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Tension-type headaches and migraine 2. Internal carotid or vertebral artery dissection 3. Arnold-Chiari malformation 4. Herniated intervertebral disc 5. Intramedullary or extramedullary spinal tumor 6. Spinal nerve compression or tumor 7. Arteriovenous malformation 8. Neck-tongue syndrome
