Efficacy of manual therapy for cervical vertigo: a randomized controlled trial protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cervical vertigo (CV) is highly prevalent clinically, yet effective treatments are limited. Manual therapy, an important alternative, shows potential in the treatment of patients with CV. Unfortunately, the quality of current relevant research evidence is poor, and most manual therapies only focus on the local cervical spine. There are few studies on whole-spine synergistic manual therapy. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to explore the short-term efficacy of synergistic manual therapy for patients with. CV.

Methods

The clinical study is RCT. A total of 138 patients will be randomly assigned to the synergistic manual therapy (SM) group, cervical manual therapy (CM) group, or waiting list (WL) group in a 1:1:1 ratio for 2 weeks wit
