Headaches of cervical origin are often treated with mobilization. Mobilization of the upper cervical spine, occiput-C3, and effect on frequency, duration, and intensity of cervical headaches were studied utilizing an A-B-A single case design. Ten subjects who met the operational criteria of cervical headaches completed the study. A headache log was used to document headache frequency, duration, and intensity throughout all three phases (A-B-A). The baseline phase (A) lasted approximately 1 month, and no intervention was performed. The intervention phase (B) consisted of 9-12 treatment sessions, two times per week for 3-4 weeks. Visual analysis of data plots revealed a decrease in headache frequency, duration, and intensity from the baseline phase to the treatment phase. This improvement continued through the second A phase for frequency but leveled off for both duration and intensity. A one-way analysis of variance supported the findings from the visual analysis. In these 10 subjects, mobilization had a therapeutic effect on cervical headaches.
源于颈椎的头痛通常采用松动术进行治疗。利用A - B - A单病例设计，研究了上颈椎（枕骨 - C3）的松动术及其对颈源性头痛的发作频率、持续时间和强度的影响。十名符合颈源性头痛操作标准的受试者完成了该研究。在所有三个阶段（A - B - A）中，均使用头痛日志记录头痛的频率、持续时间和强度。基线期（A）持续约1个月，未进行任何干预。干预期（B）包括9至12次治疗，每周两次，持续3至4周。对数据图的视觉分析显示，从基线期到治疗期，头痛频率、持续时间和强度均有所下降。这种改善在频率方面在第二个A期持续存在，但在持续时间和强度方面趋于平稳。单向方差分析支持了视觉分析的结果。在这10名受试者中，松动术对颈源性头痛有治疗作用。
