Cervicogenic headache may imitate those usually connected through essential headache problems. Objective: To determine the effects of ischemic compression and positional release procedure on pain and Headache Disability Index in Cervicogenic headache. Methods: Data were collected from Physiogic Physiotherapy Clinic Lahore, for 6 months. Quasi Experimental study was conducted on 18 patients of Cervicogenic headache. All were randomly allocated to ICT group and PRT group, both groups were treated for 12 sessions in 4 weeks. NPRS, HDI were used to measure the treatment effect before and after treatment of 12 sessions in 4 weeks. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21. Results: There were 9 (50.0%) participation with mean of 26.22 and SD 2.90 in group A and 9 (50.0%) participants with mean of 24.55 and SD 2.55 in group B. Across the gathering correlation of VAS, KOOS AND AKPS with mean difference and standard p value of pre and post treatment values and within group comparison of VAS, KOOS AND AKPS showed significant difference in Group A as compared to group B. Conclusions: Result showed that significant difference found between the mean values of both technique after treatment (Post-Treatment) in HDI & NPRS in the favor of PRT because there is more variation in mean of PRT as compared to IC technique.
