Case ReportsDiagnosis and treatment of cervical radiculopathy using a clinical prediction rule and a multimodal intervention approach: a case series.
Case series. ⋯ Using the CPR may be beneficial in diagnosing CR, so the clinician can devise a plan of care and assess treatment outcomes in a relatively homogenous group of patients. It is possible that a treatment regimen of ICT, thoracic TJM, and exercise will aid in centralizing radicular symptoms and improving functional outcomes in patients with CR.

ReviewMethodological quality of randomized controlled trials of spinal manipulation and mobilization in tension-type headache, migraine, and cervicogenic headache.
Literature review of quality of clinical trials. ⋯ There are few published randomized controlled trials analyzing the effectiveness of spinal manipulation and/or mobilization for TTH, CeH, and M in the last decade. In addition, the methodological quality of these papers is typically low. Clearly, there is a need for high-quality randomized controlled trials assessing the effectiveness of these interventions in these headache disorders.
