Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of thermal imaging camera in the identification of perforators using peroperative visual inspection as gold standard. Study Design: Descriptive study.
Background: The root of the word "cervicogenic headache" was in 1983. "Cervicogenic headache is a secondary headache caused by neck fractures, infections and hypertension. Cervicogenic headache pain occurs in the neck and back of the head and radiates to the front of the head. Aims: To compare the results of the cervical flexion-rotation test (FRT) and cervical mobility between subjects with cervicogenic headache (CGH) and asymptomatic headache (CGH). Test of flexion-rotation conducted to determine cervicogenic headache. Methods: This research was comparative and used to assess the distinctions between asymptomatic subjects and those with subjective cervicogenic headache characteristics. In this study 10 participants paired with 10 asymptomatic subjects with side dominant cervicogenic headache. A total of 20 participants were screened and distributed into treatment / case and control groups according to selection criteria. The severity of headaches was measured using a questionnaire. The goniometer was used to measure the cervical range of motion in both groups at pre- and post-treatment stages. Data was analyzed by SPSS. Results: 50% participants are in age-group of 20-29, 20% participants are in age-group of 30-39, 15% participants are in age-group of 40-49 and 15% participants are in age-group of 50 or above. Conclusion: It is concluded that in asymptomatic subjects, ROM was normal with no pain during cervical flexion rotation test. Keywords: Flexion-rotation test (FRT), successful cervical stability, cervical range of motion (CROM), goniometer
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
