Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Manual therapy reduces symptoms in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. The mobilization and manipulation of upper cervical spine are the most popular treatment in this patients. The International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists suggest different recommendations for the safety application of manual therapy techniques in the upper cervical spine, traction manipulation techniques complies with this conditions. However, there isn´t investigation about the effect of traction manipulation in patients with cervicogenic dizziness. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of traction manipulation in dizziness intensity, range of motion of cervical spine and quality of life on patients with cervicogenic dizziness.
