Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Efficacy of Specific Neck Rehabilitation on Unilateral Neck Related Headache, and Structural Changes of Cerebral Gray and White Matter

Brief Summary: In part 1 of the project clinical efficacy of specific neck rehabilitation will be compared with standard primary health care among patients with cervicogenic headache and study whether fear avoidance beliefs and self-efficacy predict long term neck function and headache frequency superior to active range of neck movement. Part 2 will investigate whether patients with cervicogenic headache have changes in cerebral grey and white matter and in connectivity of the resting state state network, whether these are reversed after effective neck rehabilitation, and correlate to symptom severity and degree of disability.
