Effects of Dry Needling of the Obliquus Capitis Inferior in Patients with Cervicogenic Headache and Upper Cervical Dysfunction: An Exploratory Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial

J Clin Med. 2025 Sep 19;14(18):6619. doi: 10.3390/jcm14186619. ABSTRACT Background/Objectives: Cervicogenic headache (CeH) is linked to upper cervical dysfunctions. The obliquus capitis inferior (OCI) muscle may contribute to restricted cervical rotation at the C1-C2 level, altered proprioception and pain. Dry needling (DN) of the OCI is hypothesized to target these dysfunctions. The aim of this […]
