Abstract
Background: Soft tissues of the neck are a common cause of cervicogenic headache (CGH).The purpose of this study: To compare between the effect of positional release technique (PRT) and post isometric relaxation (PIR) technique in patients with CGH. Patients and method: Thirty patients of CGH have been taken in the study. They were selected from Kafer El sheikh general hospital.They were randomly assigned into 2 groups. group A consisted of 15 patients with mean age 45.86±8.825 years; who had received PRT for upper trapezius ,sternocleidomastoid muscles and suboccipital muscle with hot pack, and group B consisted of 15 patients with mean age 43.66±8.39 years underwent PIR for the same muscles with hot pack.

Outcome measures taken were visual analogue scale (VAS), neck disability index (NDI) and cervical range of motion (ROM) before treatment and post the 9{u036D} {u036A} session
