Abstract：Objective To explore the influence of abnormal physiological curvature of cervical vertebrae on the incidence of cervicogenic headache. Methods A total of 60 patients with cervicogenic headache and 60 patients without neck headache admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College were selected from March to December 2016. The patients were divided into two groups, observation group and control group, respectively. Two groups of were performed X-ray film on the side of the cervical spine. The abnormal situation of cervical curvature in the two groups was observed, and the difference of the incidence of abnormal curvature of the cervical spine between the two groups was analyzed. The cervical curvature of the observation group was typed. The visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain in the observation group was analyzed statistically. Results The incidence of abnormal cervical curvature in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group and cervical curvature index was lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). In the observation group, the VAS scores of the abnormal physiological curvature of cervical vertebrae patients were significantly higher than those of the normal cervical curvature patients (P ＜ 0.05). As the cervical curvature becomes smaller, the VAS scores were higher. Conclusion The smaller the cervical physiological curvature, the heavier the cervicogenic headache. Abnormal physiological curvature may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of cervicogenic headache.
