| Description | The symptoms of cervicocranial syndrome include headache caused by cervical spine disorder. The treatment of cervicocranial syndrome requires a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach using pharmacological treatment and non-drug procedures, including physiotherapy and myoskeletal therapy. There is a consensus that the physiotherapy procedures of mobilization and manipulation are beneficial in the treatment of cervical spine disorders. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of manipulation therapy of the cervical spine according to the principles of myoskeletal medicine. The study included 103 patients with cervicocranial syndrome, who were randomly divided into a control and an experimental group. The control group underwent standard physiotherapy myoskeletal treatment. In addition to the standard physiotherapy myoskeletal treatment, the experimental group received one initial thrust manipulation of the cervical spine at the very beginning of the treatment. The results of our study showed that the manipulation of the cervical spine led to a significant increase in immediate mobility after the therapy. An improvement of cervical spine mobility and pain reduction were observed in both groups after six weeks of comprehensive physiotherapy myoskeletal treatment. The differences between the experimental group and controls were shown to be non-significant. |
