Therapeutic strategy with indirect spinal manipulations in C2-C3 segments for long-term treatment of cervicogenic headache.
Article in European journal of translational myology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cervicogenic Headache (CGH) is a secondary type headache, associated with dysfunction in upper cervical segments (C1-C2-C3) and manifested by specific clinical features. It is unilateral, starting from one side of the posterior head and neck, migrating to the front, sometimes associated with ipsilateral arm discomfort and, in addition, neuralgia with ipsilateral conjunctival inection. Our research is based on 29 patients (with average age of 49.78 years ± 10.41 (34-73)) with headache: 19 females and 10 males. We examined the active range of motion (AROM). We used palpatory maneuvers, finding local symptoms (facet joints' tenderness) and symptoms in the segmental territory - cellulalgia in the supraorbital and submandibular region (found by the pinch-roll test - PR-SO and PR-SM). The clinical examination before and immediately after the indirect high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) manipulations, as well as at the end of treatment, showed a significant reduction in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, in local symptoms and especially in measurable indicators - skin fold (PR-SO and PR-SM) in mm. (p<0.01 and p<0.001). Our study shows that indirect HVLA-spine manipulations have an invariable place in the treatment of cervicogenic headache.
