Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Cervicogenic headache is a very incessant issue that is often faced by the general population. Cervicogenic headache is a significant issue in patients with upper cervical dysfunction. However, its physical therapy management is a subject of debate. As the Comparative effects of Jones technique and cross-friction massage have never been investigated in patients with cervicogenic headache and neck pain, this study aims to investigate the effects of these treatments on two study groups (Group A\&B) respectively.
Official title: Comparative Effects of Jones Technique and Cross Friction Massage on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Disability in Patients With Cervicogenic Headache.

Jones technique
Strain counter strain technique also known as Jones technique will be performed with the patient lay supine on the treatment table, taking them to a position-of-comfort by extending, side-bending, and rotating the head away (ESARA) from the TP until the TP pain has reduced. Continues to monitor, maintaining the patient's position for 90 seconds. After 90 seconds has elapsed, the patient's head should be slowly and passively returned to a neutral position with 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks. In essence, the TP should be relieved by placing the patient in a position of comfort, holding this position for 90 seconds, and slowly returning the patient to a neutral position.
Cross-friction massage
Group B will get cross friction massage for 15-20 mins. Participants will be treated 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Pre and Post-treatment readings will be taken in 1st session and 6th week respectively.
