Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Suboccipital inhibition

The intervention group will receive a session of 20 minutes (5 minutes for the patient's reception, 10 for treatment and the following 5 minutes for rest and hemodynamic stabilization), twice a week for 4 weeks. The intervention will consist of suboccipital muscle inhibition and interferential current on the occipital muscles.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Suboccipital inhibition

Intervention Type OTHER

Experimental: Suboccipital inhibition

The intervention group will receive a session of 20 minutes (5 minutes for the patient's reception, 10 for treatment and the following 5 minutes for rest and hemodynamic stabilization), twice a week for 4 weeks. The intervention will consist of suboccipital muscle inhibition and interferential current on the occipital muscles.

Control

No intervention will be done to the participants during the study. After study completion, the participants will be offered to receive the therapy.
