Background: Unilateral headache, indications of neck involvement, prolonged awkward head posture, and worsening with neck movement are the hallmarks of cervicogenic headache (CEH), a secondary headache. Cervicogenic headaches can be brought on by excessive neck strain, degenerative diseases such osteoarthritis, a prolapsed disc in the neck, or a whiplash accident. The college students of today spends a lot of time on their smartphones. The neck disability score, headache, and pain severity all showed a substantial positive connection with one another, indicating a clear link between neck pain and prolonged smartphone use. Physiotherapy management was the first line of treatment for cervicogenic headaches.
Objective: The goal was to determine how common cervicogenic headaches were in the college students demographic. Methodology: observational and non-experimental.
Outcome measure: Headache disability index.
Procedure: The questionnaires were sent and collected, graded, and statistics were generated after the subjects were chosen based on the inclusion criteria.
Result: This Prevalence study show that 60%of them was not affected and 30% of them with mild and 3% and 2% of them with moderate and severe respectively.SD=14.6303.
Conclusion: According to the study’s findings, cervicogenic headaches were common and prone among young people. They may be brought on by prolonged neck flexion from studying or by the strain that using a phone or laptop puts on the cervical region. Cervicogenic headaches can be avoided or controlled with the aid of cervical rotation (self-mobilization) and strengthening exercises, such as deep neck flexors.
