Abstract:Cervicogenic headache(CEH) is a secondary headache that arises from the structure of the neck. The pathogenesis of the disease is controversial, the diagnosis lacks objective diagnostic criteria such as imaging, the misdiagnosis rate is high, and the choice of treatment is subjective differences. Studies have found that CEH is mainly caused by structural abnormalities such as physiological curvature, joint structure, neck muscle group, fascial ligament, and dura. Physiotherapy is the most widely used clinical practice in CEH, physiotherapy (manual therapy, exercise therapy, acupuncture, etc.) can improve the symptoms, cervical motion, quality of life, and inflammatory indicators of CEH patients through multi-target effects. This article reviews the research progress in etiology of CEH and physiotherapy, in order to provide reference for the future study of CEH.
