Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Mechanical traction with isometrics   1.Traction will be given with the patient in supine with neck in extension position the legs supported comfortably on a padded stool. 2.Intermittent cervical traction will be given with pulling force equals to one tenth of the body weight 3.The active treatment period will be 6 weeks and outcomes will be evaluated in the immediately post intervention week 7  
Intervention  Mulligan’s SNAG mobilisation with isometrics   1.SNAG technique will be performed with the patient sitting upright in a chair. 2.The physiotherapist will stabilize the occiput with the index, middle, and ring fingers of one hand while placing the little finger on the C2 spinous process. 3. After placing the hands in this way, the head forearm stabilized by the support and gently push the spinosus process ventrally with the other hand. 4.With this maneuver, C2 slides forward under C1, and therefore C1 moves forward relative to the skull. 5.The active treatment period will be 6 weeks and outcomes will be evaluated in the immediately post intervention week 7

Brief Summary  

The study will be a comparative study . Subjects those will meet the inclusion criteria will be   randomly allocated to two groups: Group-A & Group-B

Prior to participation in this study Informed consent of subjects will be taken and diagnostic criteria will be checked:To assist in the diagnosis of cervicogenic headache , Hall and Robinson have suggested flexion-rotation test (FRT), as described by Dvorak et al. This passive examination procedure involves fully flexing the cervical spine so that vertebral movement is theoretically constrained to C1- C2, then assessing cervical rotation range of motion in this position. Normal range of movement is 44° . The FRT will be performed with the subject supine on a physiotherapy treatment plinth. The cervical spine will be fully flexed by the examiner and the head will be passively rotated to the left and right. Range will be determined by either the onset of pain or firm resistance . Pretreatment and immediate posttreatment values for rotation on the FRT will be  recorded3.

Group-A Mulligan’s SNAG mobilisation with isometrics (n=20)

SNAG technique will be performed with the patient sitting upright in a chair. The physiotherapist will stabilize the occiput with the index, middle, and ring fingers of one hand while placing the little finger on the C2 spinous process. After placing the hands in this way, the head forearm stabilized by the support and gently push the spinosus process ventrally with the other hand. With this maneuver, C2 slides forward under C1, and therefore C1 moves forward relative to the skull2 .

Group –B Mechanical traction with isometrics (n=20)

Traction will be given with the patient in supine with neck in extension position  the legs supported comfortably on a padded stool. Intermittent cervical traction will be given with pulling force equals to one tenth of the body weight

The active treatment period will be 6 weeks and outcomes will be evaluated in the immediately postintervention (week 7)
