The therapist uses a light touch generally of five grams, with which he releases the restrictions in the craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, causing relaxation at both the somatic and mental levels. Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a therapeutic program that uses craniosacral Therapy is more effective than a program consisting of physiotherapy in the subjects with cervical pain and migraines included in this study. Methods: From a group of 30 patients, 15 subjects with neck pain were randomly chosen to receive a craniosacral therapy intervention for a period of 2 weeks and another 15 subjects have received physiotherapy. We have used Visual Analogue Scale evaluation methods based on which we can determine the effectiveness of our programs. Results: Statistical analysis has shown that there are significant differences between pre- and post-test between the experimental and control groups. Conclusions: In our study, craniosacral therapy has better results in reducing the level of pain in patients with cervical pain and migraine. These results need to be considered by therapists to better understand and involve this concept for beneficial effects in treating patients with cervical pain arising from various causes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts randomized controlled trial Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
