Abstract

Cervical dysfunction is one of the common symptoms of chronic headaches. This study was conducted to assess the posture of the head, cervical and thoracic spine and the shoulder girdle in people with and without cervicogenic and migraine headaches. The postural angles of the head, cervical and thoracic spine and the shoulder girdle in frontal and sagittal planes, as well as thoracic spine curvature, were measured on 90 people who were split into three groups: 20 people with cervicogenic headache, 20 people with migraine and 50 people as the control group. There were significant differences among the three groups in the craniovertebral angle, coronal head tilt angle and scapular upward rotation angle (P<0.05). There was no relationship between postural angles. The results of this study revealed that forward head posture was evident in people with cervicogenic and migraine headache. Decreased scapular upward rotation seen in the migraine headache group highlights the importance of shoulder girdle-related dysfunctions in people with chronic headaches.

慢性头痛患者和非慢性头痛患者头部、颈椎、胸椎和肩带姿势的评估

宫颈功能障碍是慢性头痛的常见症状之一。本研究旨在评估患有和不患有颈源性头痛和偏头痛的人的头部、颈椎、胸椎和肩带的姿势。测量了90名受试者的头部、颈椎和胸椎以及肩带在额矢状面上的姿势角以及胸椎弯曲度，这些受试者被分为三组：20名颈源性头痛患者、20名偏头痛患者和50名对照组。三组患者的颅椎角、冠头倾斜角和肩胛骨向上旋转角差异有统计学意义（P<0.05），体位角之间无相关性。这项研究的结果表明，在颈源性头痛和偏头痛患者中，头部前倾的姿势是明显的。偏头痛组肩胛骨向上旋转减少突出了慢性头痛患者肩带相关功能障碍的重要性。
