SPINEPASS: SPINE Self-management Techniques for Persistent Headache After Concussion: Physical Therapy Targeting Autonomic and Dura Mater Function.
Sponsor: The University of Queensland
Summary
This is a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing two different physical therapy approaches to the treatment of posttraumatic headache with autonomic symptoms. AIM 1: To establish the efficacy of SPINEPASS against Standard Physical Therapy to reduce headache disability and impact amongst patients with persistent post-concussion headache. AIM 2: Demonstrate the superiority of SPINEPASS in the efficient self-management of headache. Demonstrate its appropriateness, acceptability, and feasibility and gain patient insights among patients with PPTH compared to standard PT.

Interventions
SPINEPASS Physical Therapy
SPINEPASS consists of a core set of three daily exercises integrated into daily activities to improve/restore overall spinal and dural mobility and or stability. It also provides training in the use of specific tools to be used as needed to address symptoms as they occur. Treatment can also include spinal manual therapy and other exercises to enhance the tools, but the emphasis is on self-management.
Standard Physical Therapy
The cervical therapy for standard Physical Therapy will be based on impairments found but could include cervical and or thoracic manual therapy, exercises to improve segmental range of motion, exercises for cervical and axioscapular neuromotor retraining, and specific cervical related sensorimotor control exercises such as proprioceptive retraining. A home program of exercises tailored for the individual will be provided.
