Proprioceptive training reduces headache burden and center of pressure path length in patients with cervicogenic headache: A randomized controlled trial
Puntos clave
This research aims to evaluate the impact of proprioceptive training on headache burden and postural balance in patients with cervicogenic headaches.
Randomized controlled trial design was utilized.
Participants received either proprioceptive training with standard physiotherapy or standard physiotherapy alone.
Headache burden and postural balance were measured before and after the intervention.
Participants undergoing proprioceptive training reported significantly reduced headache burden.
Postural balance improved notably in the proprioceptive training group compared to the control group.
Resumen
Adding GDR-based proprioceptive training to standard physiotherapy produced greater improvements in headache burden and markedly improved postural balance compared with standard physiotherapy alone.
