Presentation
RESULTS: In this study, 10% of the patients had atypical presentation of cervicogenic headache. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
While cervicogenic traits (mechanical precipitation etc.) were frequently present in CEH, 'migraine traits', like nausea, vomiting, and throbbing seemed to be rarely present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is not often associated with nausea or aggravated by any form of physical activity. [kingsleyphysio.com]
Other symptoms associated with cervicogenic headache include: neck pain; muscle tenderness; tenderness over the joints in the neck; shoulder/arm pain on the same side of the headache; weakness; and, possible dizziness, nausea, and lightheadedness. [headaches.org]
Ears
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo
If it is post-traumatic or follows cervical whiplash injuries, then post-traumatic otolith vertigo, 54 or benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo, 58 central vestibular dysfunction secondary to brainstem concussion, vertebral artery dissection, and perilymph [jnnp.bmj.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Neck Pain
Headache and neck pain was diagnosed according to International Headache Society (IHS) criteria. Twelve of 50 patients with cervical disc prolapse reported new headache and neck pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
See What Is Causing My Neck Pain and Headache? advertisement Cervicogenic Headache Pain CGH usually starts as an intermittent pain and may progress to become a continuous pain. [spine-health.com]
Neurologic
- Headache
Seven patients (58%) fulfilled the 2004 IHS criteria for cervicogenic headache. Two of 50 patients with lumbar disc prolapse had new headaches. Their headaches did not fulfil the criteria for cervicogenic headache. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Vertigo
They introduced the syndrome as cervical vertigo. As true spinning vertigo is rarely associated with this syndrome, cervicogenic dizziness is a more correct name for this syndrome and will be used here. [vestibular.org]

Workup
[…] headache also warrant imaging, as they may have a mass or a bleed that is gradually growing, pressing on surrounding structures and causing worsening pain.[27] People with neurological findings on exam, such as weakness, also need further workup.[27] [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment
Pain was assessed pre- and post-injection and 3 and 6 months post treatments. RESULTS: The mean treatment period was 59 +/- 61 days. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
In general, the prognosis for patients with cervicogenic dizziness is good, with 75 percent of patients having improvement of symptoms. Author: Diane M. Wrisley, PhD, PT, NCS References Brown JJ. Cervical contributions to balance: cervical vertigo. [vestibular.org]

Etiology
Historically, these types of headaches were difficult to diagnose and treat because their etiology and pathophysiology was not well-understood. Even today, management of a CGH remains challenging for sports rehabilitation specialists. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Because cervicogenic headaches originate from the neck, the neck should be the focus for preventing and treating such headaches. [theergonomicphysio.com.au]
Prevention Some occurrences of cervicogenic headaches are not preventable. This is the case with headaches stemming from a condition like osteoarthritis, which tends to set in with age. [healthline.com]
Headaches are a common problem that physical therapists treat and they are often successful at reducing pain and preventing future headaches. Once a headache trigger is identified, the focused treatment can begin. [wegetyouhealthy.com]
Cervicogenic headaches – prevention The best way to prevent cervicogenic headaches is to keep the muscles and bones of the neck healthy. Bone health begins with a healthy diet filled with calcium-rich foods. [paindoctor.com]
A primary treatment modality and prevention technique is exercise. Exercise in general has been shown to be beneficial in treating and preventing cervical pain and headaches. [thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com]
