What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
upper cervical manipulationProcedure or surgery
rotatory upper cervical manipulation to both sides. The treatment program was conducted for twelve sessions (three sessions per week). Assessment procedures were performed before and after treatment through visual analogue scale (VAS)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| traditional physical therapy program | Active comparator | Not described Receives: Procedure: upper cervical manipulation |
| rotatory upper cervical manipulation to both sides | Experimental | Not described Receives: Procedure: upper cervical manipulation |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
pain intensity seems to be improved
Assessment procedures were performed before and after treatment through visual analogue scale (VAS)
Measured: 3 monthes
vertigo seems to be significantly improved
Dix-Hallpike test was used to asses the vertigo degree and improvement within and after the treatment programme
Measured: 3 monthes
