Overview
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to compare ventro-cephalic to dorso-caudal translatoric glides in management of cervicogenic headache.

Participants will be recruited into their respective groups using a coin toss method.Cervicogenic headache will be assesed using International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition:
A- Any headache fulling criterion C. B- Clinical and/or imaging evidence of lesion or disorder in cervical spine or soft tissues of neck that can cause headache.
C- Evidence of cause of headache demonstrated by at least 2 of these:
- headache has developed in temporal relation to the onset of the cervical disorder or lesion.
- headache has significantly improved or resolved in parallel with improvement in cervical lesion or disorder.
- cervical range of motion is reduced, and headache is made significantly worse by provocative maneuvers.
- headache is abolished following anaesthetic blocked of cervical structure. D- Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis.
CEH subject selection is based on clinical criteria, however anaesthetic blockades is not used as a criterion.
