Jeff Langmaid introduces a YouTube episode focused on a randomized controlled trial comparing cervical versus thoracic spinal thrust manipulation for treating cervicogenic headaches. He frames the trial as high-quality research (an RCT), promises a link in the show notes, and emphasizes clinical implications and practical 'clinical pearls' for clinicians.
This week we are back with more research. Tons of clinical implications, lots of clinical pearls. You're going to want to pay attention to this episode because it is all around cervical and thoracic adjustments for the care of cervicogenic headaches. And it is a randomized controlled trial and it is a good one. The title of this study, I'll also drop the link in the show notes so you can check it out, is comparative effectiveness of Cervical versus Thoracic Spinal Thrust Manipulation for Care of Cervicogenic headache. And this is a randomized control trial. So anytime we see that rct, that is one of the top tiers of research. And it just highlights the fact that there's a lot of. I might not use exactly the right term here, but it's a high quality research study, maybe is the easiest way to say it.
