Background: The main symptoms of cervicogenic headaches include pain originating in the neck that can travel to the head or face, headaches that get worse with neck movement, and limited ability to move the neck. Due to extreme usage of smart devices there is persistent stress on the cervical spine because of repeated flexed position of head and neck and this position can cause musculoskeletal stress.
Objective: The objective of the research was to identify the amount of Cervicogenic headache present in Physiotherapy students by performing the assessment for cervicogenic headache and to evaluate the assessment of Cervicogenic headache in Physiotherapy student by using cervical flexion rotation test.
Methods: A study was conducted to determine Prevalence of Cervicogenic Headache in Physiotherapy Students and its association with Smart phone Usage of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam College of Physiotherapy, Loni, Maharashtra, for the age group 18-30 years with a sample size of 165 Physiotherapy students. Students with cervicogenic headache more than 5days/month were included. Cervicogenic Headache were diagnosed with Cervical Flexion Rotation Test (CFRT).
Result: Among 165 participants 134 participants were female i.e. 80.7% and 32 participants were male i.e. 19.3%. Cervical flexion rotation test reported that, 51.8% individuals are positive and 48.2% individuals are negative.
Conclusion: The result of the study concluded that the Prevalence of cervicogenic headache for CFRT (cervical flexion rotation test) is 85 were positive and 80 were negative among 165 Physiotherapy students. So, the prevalence of cervicogenic headache was 51.8% among Physiotherapy students. Long hours in front of a smartphone could expose Physiotherapy students to Headache, Neck and Wrist Pain. There is a considerable prevalence of cervicogenic headache among Physiotherapy students.
