Journal Title: Traditional Medicine Research - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

As early as 1983, Sjaastad proposed the concept of cervicogenic headache (CH) in the World Headache Conference, that is, the pain from upper cervical joints and muscles can be referred to the head. CH is a group of syndromes mainly caused by dysfunction of the upper cervical spine and its component muscles, ligaments,bony, vertebral arteries and/or soft tissue elements,usually not accompanied by neck pain. Therefore, the treatment strategy of CH focuses on pain relief and repair cervical lesions. Patients with painful disorders of upper cervical zygapophysial joints showed significant headache relief after directly treated at disordered cervical joints
