Impact of Class IV LASER Therapy and Conventional Exercise on Young Adults with Cervicogenic Headache: A Randomised Clinical Trial Protocol
Abstract
Introduction: A Cervicogenic Headache (CGH) is characterised by unilateral neck pain that originates in the bony or soft tissues of the neck and refers to the head. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) therapy is frequently employed in clinical settings to treat musculoskeletal diseases. Need for the study: Authors anticipate cervicogenic headache (CGH) treatment with Class IV LASER therapy will lead to statistically significant reduction in both neck pain and headache compared to baseline measurement. Adverse events related to Class IV LASER on CGH is minimal. The anticipated result of the present protocol will provide valuable insight into the efficacy and safety of Class IV LASER in the management of headache and neck pain. Aim: To determine the efficacy of Class IV LASER therapy in young adults with CGH. Materials and Methods: A randomised clinical trial protocol will be conducted on a total of 44 patients having age range between 20- 39 years with cervicogenic headache were recruited by convenience sampling method. Recruited individuals with cervicogenic headache will be randomly divided into two groups: Treatment Group A (Class IV LASER therapy with conventional exercises) and Treatment Group B (Conventional exercises). Treatment time for group A will be calculated by dividing the total energy delivered by the average total output. Each patient received six sessions in total alternative days. Group B also received same session as group A. The…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 44 participants or records.
