Background & Aims: Cervicogenic headache is a type of headache that originates from the neck region and is related to musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study was determining the effect of a course of sensorimotor training on the craniovertebral angle and symptoms of women with cervicogenic headache.
Materials & Methods: In this semi-experimental intervention research, 30 women suffering from cervicogenic headache with an age range of 25-45 years, referred to the clinics of Shahin-Dezh city, and were divided purposefully into two groups of sensorimotor training (age: 31.57±2.63 years), and control (age: 33.11±2.89 years). The craniovertebral angle was measured by photography, headache by VAS scale, and psychological and functional dimensions of the patients by using headache disability questionnaire before and after the intervention. Data analysis was done using SPSS software at a significant level (P<0.05). ANCOVA statistical test was used to compare the mean of the variables.
Results: The results showed that sensorimotor training have a significant effect on improving the craniovertebral angle and the symptoms of women with headaches including pain, as well as psychological and functional dimensions caused by headaches.
Conclusion: Sensorimotor training have an effect on improving the posture of the head and reducing the symptoms of cervicogenic headache sufferers. Therefore, it is recommended that experts use sensorimotor exercises to help patients with cervicogenic headache.
