What is CTP?

Neck pain or cervical pain with headache can also be referred to as cervicogenic headaches and is defined as pain that develops in the neck, though a person feels the pain in their head. Cervicogenic headaches are secondary headaches, meaning it is caused by an underlying condition such as a neck injury. Bogduk et al. has proposed that the pathophysiology of cervicogenic headaches results from a convergence of sensory input from the following anatomical structures:

• Upper cervical facets

• Upper cervical muscles

• C2-3 intervertebral disc

• Vertebral and internal carotid arteries

• Dura mater of the upper spinal cord

• Posterior cranial fossa
