Abstract
Background: Cervicogenic headache is a secondary headache. The upper three cervical segments are more involved in this type of headache. The deep cervical flexor muscles including longus colli and longus capitis are more affected. Objectives: To investigate if neck core stability, pain and functional ability in patients diagnosed with cervicogenic headache are related to a specific age or gender clusters. Methods: Sixty patients diagnosed as cervicogenic headache of both genders participated in this study. Their ages ranged from 20 to 49 years. Pressure biofeedback unit was used for assessment of neck muscles core strength. The pain was measured using the numeric rating scale.The neck functional ability was measured using the neck disability index. The correlation between gender; pain, neck functional ability and neck muscles core strength was tested using Pearson-chi square test. The correlation between age; pain, neck functional ability and neck muscles core strength was tested using two-tailed Pearson correlation test
