A lot of manual therapy techniques have been described for the treatment of Cervicogenic Headache (CGH). Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to compare the effect of mulligan technique and muscle energy technique in improving cervicogenic headache. Subjects and Methods: A sample of 45 subjects (age ranged 35-45 years old) with Cervicogenic Headache (CGH) were included in current study. patients were randomly divided into three equal groups; Group (A) (Control Group), Group (B) and Group(C):15 participant each. The study included three main outcomes; The headache intensity which was measured by the headache disability index (HDI), the cervical range of motion that was measured by the cervical range of motion (CROM) and finally neck disability index (NDI) to assess neck pain. Treatment of Group (A): received selected physical therapy program including ( Trans cutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS)), Ultrasound(US) and Hot packs), Group (B) receiving the same program in addition to mulligan technique while Group(C) receiving the same program as group A in addition to muscle energy technique
