Objective :
The purpose of this study is to review the randomized clinical trials of Chuna manual therapy for cervicogenic headache and provide a evidence for the efficacy of Chuna manual therapy.
Methods :
We searched randomized clinical trials that performed Chuna manual therapy for cervical headache up to Feb. 2017 in 6 databases. Randomized clinical trials were selected according to the inclusion criteria and the data were extracted and analyzed. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Criteria.
Results :
16 RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis of 13 RCTs showed favorable results for the use of chuna manual therapy compared to drug, physical treatment.
Conclusions :
In 16 RCTs, we found that Chuna manual therapy was effective in cervicogenic headache. However, all RCTs are exposed to a number of bias risks. Therefore, well designed clinical trial would be needed to raise the evidence level of Chuna manual therapy.
