Q

What authors stated that 10% of CGH have a neural component?

A

Michael Shacklock (2005) and Gwendolen Jull (2002)

21
Q

Can you reproduce the headache by sensitizing the neural system?

A

Yes, look for change in symptoms with distal tensioning in the slump test. Or try upper cervical flexion and then UE abduction to 90degree as in NTPT I or III

22
Q

What are the most valid and reliable outcome measures for CGH patients?

A

1) Neck Disability Index ( Vernon & Moir, 1991)
2) Frequency, intensity, and duration records kept daily or weekly by patient
3)Flexion-Rotation Test (Ogince et al 2007 = valid)
20 degree is mean FRT for CGH, 32 degree is cut off for positive FRT in CGH pop. 91% sen and 90% sp
4) Craniocervical flexion test with PBU 20-30mmHG
5) Neck flexion endurance test (reliability established, no validity as of yet)

23
Q

What are the key factors in differential diagnosis for CGH and migraines?

A

CGH, migraine, and TTH symptoms often overlap. Occipital, cervical, facial, shoulder, and periorbital pain can occur in CGH and migraine.
Consider CGH component if migraine medications provide only partial relief.

24
Q

Describe the results of the 4 case reports on CGH performed by Xiaobin 2005?

A

All patients had positive Tinel’s sign over occipital nerve
Occipital neuralgia is likely a subcategory of CGH
After nerve block patients had gradual return of symptoms in 10 days, 2 weeks, 40 days and 2 months

25
Q

What two types of clinicians did Laslett 2003 and 2005 use to diagnosis SI joint dysfunction?

A

Radiologist & Physical Therapist

26
Q

What were the inclusion criteria in the Laslett studies?

A

Buttock pain +/- other pain

27
Q

What were the exclusion criteria in the Laslett studies?

A

midline or symmetrical pain

28
Q

In the Laslett studies, how did the radiologist diagnosis SI joint dysfunction?

A

Positive reference standard (gold), using fluoroscopically guided injection, led to provocation of familiar pain followed by 80% pain relief with anaesthetic block

29
Q

In the Laslett studies, how did the PT diagnosis SI joint dysfunction?

A

Positive physical examination was multi-test regimen of pain provocation tests that produced familiar pain.

30
Q

What was the percentage of positive tests for SI joint dysfunction identified by radiologists in the Laslett studies?

A

33%

31
Q

What was the percentage of positive tests for SI joint dysfunction identified by physical therapists’ in the Laslett studies?

A

31 to 50%

32
Q
  1. According to Bogduk 2005, is the origin of a HA able to be distinguished? (pg. 57 SMT-2)
A
  1. No, because the trigeminal nucleus can be evoked from the upper cervical stimulation as a stimulus from frontal, periorbital, facial, occipital, temporal regions.
33
Q
  1. According to Bronfert et al 2005, what tx was found to be effective for CGH?
A
  1. SMT and low intensity endurance training
34
Q
  1. Bronfort et al 2005, is SMT effective for migraine?
A
  1. May be effective, has a similar effect to amytriptyline, but less effective for TTH’s.
35
