[Proposta] Questo studio ha lo scopo di confrontare e analizzare le proprietà meccaniche dei muscoli cervicali in pazienti con cefalea cervicogenica e identificare metodi efficaci di trattamento e di diagnosi.
[Soggetti e metodi] Sono stati selezionati un totale di 40 soggetti, tra cui 20 soggetti sani e 20 pazienti con cefalea cervicogenica. Un dispositivo MyotonPRO è stato utilizzato per misurare il tono (Hz), la rigidità (N / m), e l'elasticità (decremento log) dei muscoli suboccipitali e del trapezio superiore dei soggetti.
[Risultati] Non c'era alcuna differenza significativa tra i 2 gruppi nell'elasticità dei muscoli suboccipitali e del trapezio superiore. Tuttavia, vi era una differenza statisticamente significativa nel tono e nella rigidità.
[Conclusione] Questo studio ha dimostrato che il tono e la rigidità dei muscoli suboccipitali e trapezio superiore in pazienti con mal di testa cervicogenica era aumentato rispetto ai soggetti sani.

[Purpose] This study aimed to compare and analyze the mechanical properties of the upper cervical muscles in patients with cervicogenic headache to identify efficient methods of treatment and diagnosis.
[Subjects and Methods] A total of 40 subjects including 20 healthy individuals and 20 patients with cervicogenic headache were selected. A MyotonPRO device was used to measure the tone (Hz), stiffness (N/m), and elasticity (log decrement) of the suboccipital muscles and upper trapezius of the subjects.
[Results] There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the elasticity of the suboccipital muscles and upper trapezius. However, there was a statistically significant difference in tone and stiffness.
[Conclusion] This study showed that the tone and stiffness of the suboccipital muscles and upper trapezius in patients with cervicogenic headache had increased compared to healthy subjects.
