ABSTRACT
Cervicogenic headaches are a secondary headache disorder attributable to cervical spine dysfunction resulting in head pain with or without neck pain. Diagnosis of this condition has been complicated by varied clinical presentations, causations, and differing diagnostic criteria. In this article, we aim to clarify the approach to diagnosing cervicogenic headaches by providing an overview of cervicogenic headaches, clinical case examples, and a practical diagnostic algorithm based on the most current criteria. A standardized approach will aid in confirmation of the diagnosis of cervicogenic headaches and facilitate further research into this condition.
