Comparing the Effects of Sub-Occipital Myofascial Release With and Without SNAG on People With Cervicogenic Dizziness.
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Cervicogenic dizziness is defined as a sensation of rotation, resulting from an alteration of the neck proprioceptive afferents of the upper cervical spine.Sub-occipital Release, a type of Myofascial Release (MFR) is a form of manual therapy technique which can be used for the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness. Sub-occipital muscles, dura matter and C2 vertebrae are connected to each other through the fascia. Sustained natural apophyseal glides (SNAGs) are also an effective treatment for cervicogenic dizziness. This study aim to determine Comparative Effect of Sub-Occipital Myofascial release with and without Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glide among patients with Cervicogenic Dizziness.

Interventions
Sub Occipital Myofascial release and (SNAGS).
The patient will instruct to be seated then will turned his head toward direction that will cause his dizziness. when subject will turn his head, The manual therapist will perform a constant PA glide (using his thumbs one over the other) to upper cervical C1 or C2 vertebra (Oriented toward patient's eyeballs). If flexion or extension movement will provoke the dizziness, an anterior glide will apply to the C2 spinous process. If rotation will provoke dizziness, then an anterior glide will be applied to the C1 transverse process.
Sub Occipital Myofascial release.
When using the technique, the patient will be in Upward-facing position with their head fully aided on the therapist's hands. The therapist will put three middle fingers simply inferior to the nuchal line, raise the tips of the fingers in the direction of the ceiling, and then simply pull them upward.
