: This study was conducted to evaluate changes in the thickness of the upper deep neck muscles in patients with cervicogenic headache (CGH).: The thickness of the longus capitis (LCap) muscle, rectus capitis posterior major (RCPM), and obliquus capitis superior (OCS) muscles was measured by B-mode ultrasonography in 22 CGH patients matched with 22 healthy subjects. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16.: The thickness of all muscles in the CGH group was less than healthy subjects. The thickness of the LCap muscle and right RCPM muscle was significantly different between the CGH and healthy subjects ( < .05), but there was no difference in the thickness of the OCS and left RCPM muscles between the groups ( > .05). Moreover, the thickness differences were not related to the CGH side ( > .05).: These muscles were atrophic due to CGH, but this phenomenon was not related to the headache side and was bilateral.
本研究旨在评估颈源性头痛（CGH）患者上颈部深层肌肉厚度的变化。通过 B 型超声测量 22 例 CGH 患者和 22 例健康对照者的头长肌（LCap）、头后大直肌（RCPM）和头夹肌（OCS）的厚度。使用 SPSS 版本 16 进行数据分析。CGH 组所有肌肉的厚度均小于健康对照组。CGH 组与健康对照组相比，LCap 肌和右侧 RCPM 肌的厚度有显著差异（<0.05），但 OCS 和左侧 RCPM 肌的厚度无差异（>0.05）。此外，厚度差异与 CGH 侧无关（>0.05）。这些肌肉由于 CGH 而发生萎缩，但这种现象与头痛侧无关，且为双侧性的。
