Condition(s) studied

Tension-Type Headache

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

forward head posture , resting scapular alignment and dynamic scapular kinematics

forward head posture , resting scapular alignment and dynamic scapular kinematics: forward head posture using the Smartphone application AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System (APECS), resting scapular alignment using a modified digital inclinometer and dynamic scapular kinematics using The digital inclinometer

Study summary

it evaluates forward head posture (craniovertebral angle), resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression), and dynamic scapular kinematics (upward rotation, anterior-posterior tilt) between tension-type headache and controls.

Inclusion Criteria: * Inclusion Criteria for TTH group: 1. Patients will be included if they meet the diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society for Tension-Type Headache 2. Score of 8 in screening questionnaire of TTH 3. Patients' age ranges from 20 to 40 years 4. BMI will range from 18.5- 29.9 kg/m2 5. Chronic and frequent episodic Tension-Type Headache as duration of patient's symptoms is more than three months * Inclusion Criteria for the control group Asymptomatic tension-type headaches will be included if they are matched in age, gender, and BMI Exclusion criteria: 1. Abnormal neurological symptoms (cervical radiculopathy-motor manifestation) 2. Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency 3. Systemic diseases e.g., Multiple sclerosis 4. Diabetes and hypertension 5.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • forward head posture (craniovertebral angle) — at baseline
    forward head posture (craniovertebral angle) Using the Smartphone application AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System (APECS), CVA will be measured. Patients or subjects will stand on the right lateral view, while an adjustable tripod will hold the mobile phone (iPhone 11) camera at shoulder height, positioned 1.5 meters from the patient for standardization. craniovertebral angle (CVA) is measured in degrees (°).
  • resting scapular alignment — at baseline
    resting scapular alignment (upward rotation, anterior tilt, protraction, depression) is assessed using a modified digital inclinometer and recorded in degrees (°). The subject's resting scapular alignment of protraction, upward rotation, anterior tilt, and depression in a standing posture. Markers will be positioned on the inferior angle of the scapula, the posterolateral side of the acromion, and the scapular spine's root before scapular position measurements
  • Dynamic scapular kinematics — at baseline
    Dynamic scapular kinematics is assessed using digital inclinometer and recorded in degrees (°). The subject's scapular position will be measured during upward rotation, anterior tilt, and posterior tilt in a standing posture. Before the test, the landmarks will be determined before the measurement (scapula inferior angle, posterior lateral of the acromion, and scapula spine) and markers will be attached
