5. Ciri-ciri CGH
• CGH is principally a unilateral headache but can also occur
bilaterally.
• The pain usually begins in the neck and radiates outward to the
fronto - temporal and possibly to the supra - orbital area.
• The headache is usually nagging and non-pulsating in character.
• The pain can occur in attacks; the duration of an attack is
unpredictable (hours to days).
• The pattern of the attacks can also change into a chronic
fluctuating headache
• CGH pain is mainly triggered by abnormal movements or postures
of the neck, pressing the back of the neck, or sudden movements
from coughing or sneezing.
6. Common Symptoms of CGH
• Dull, moderate to severe intensity pain. The pain in CGH is most commonly
described as dull and non-throbbing type and of moderate to severe
intensity in the head and neck region.
• Reduced flexibility of neck. The pain typically starts at the back of the neck
or head, which may lead to some neck stiffness and reduced range of
motion.
• Stiff Neck Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
• Pain in multiple areas. From the back of the head, the pain may extend
toward the front following the scalp, forehead, area around the eye, temple,
and area surrounding the ear.
• Blurred vision in one eye. Blurring of vision may be felt in the eye of the
affected side
• Pain beneath the neck. Pain in the shoulder, arm, or between the shoulder
blades is also common.
10. When Is Cervicogenic Headache
Serious?
• In some cases, CGH may be caused by dangerous underlying conditions such as
tumor, hemorrhage, fracture, or arteriovenous malformation (abnormal
connection between arteries and veins) in the head or neck region. In such
cases, one or more of the following symptoms may also be present:
• A change in the type of headache pain, such as severe headache that is
intolerable
• Nausea and vomiting
• Confusion and disorientation
• Headaches triggered by coughing or Valsalva maneuver (an attempt to expel air
with the mouth shut and nostrils pinched tight)
• Neck stiffness and swelling
• Numbness in the arms
11. Intervensi

occipitalis major with a
local anesthetic with or
