Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Group
Application of the sub occipital inhibition technique.
Suboccipital inhibition
With the patient in the supine position and the therapist sitting at the head of the bed with the elbows resting on its surface. The therapist palpates the cervical spinous processes and slides the fingers upwards until contacting the posterior projection of the posterior arch of the atlas. Then, flexing the metacarpophalangeal at 90 degrees slowly raises the skull. The therapist's hands should remain together and the base of the skull should rest on his palms pressing with the index, middle and ring fingers of each hand in a sustained manner, but without causing pain. This pressure must be maintained during 4 minutes.
Placebo Group
Hand contact in the sub occipital region without executing any technique.
Placebo technique
A superficial contact in the same area as the intervention, to rule out the exteroceptive effect associated with the therapist's contact.
