Postural and Clinical Outcomes of SNAGs Treatment in Cervicogenic Dizziness Patients: a Randomised Controlled Trial

Inclusion Criteria: * accepted criteria will be operationalized to achieve the clinical suspicion of cervicogenic dizziness as following: 1. Exclusion of these differential diagnoses: a. Migrainous vertigo b. Vertigo of central origin c. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) d. Meniere disease e. Vestibular neuritis f. Vertigo induced by drugs g. Psychogenic vertigo (anxiety and/or panic disorder and/or phobia) h. Orthostatic hypotension 2. presence of a subjective feeling of dizziness associated with pain, movement, rigidity, or certain positions of the neck at least from 3 months; 3. Cervical pain, trauma, and/or disease 4. If from traumatic origin, there has to be a temporal proximity between the onset of dizziness and the neck injury. Diagnosis is positive if criteria 1 to 3 are fulfilled. As for criterion 2, dizziness had to occur during the same period than neck pain occurred and dizziness had to be proportional to the severity of the neck pain that generally fluctuates in time. Criterion 4 addresses cervicogenic dizziness occurring after a neck trauma Exclusion Criteria: * presence of trauma or recent surgery in the head, face, neck, or chest; * an otorhinolaryngological diagnosis of central or peripheral vertigo * receiving physiotherapy during the study period. * History, physical examination and a thorough clinical otoneurological examination will be devised to exclude extracervical causes of dizziness. * In order to exclude vestibular hypofunction, video Head Impulse Test - and the technique proposed in previous studies will be used to study the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
