Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cervicogenic headache (CGH) among IT professionals and to understand the factors contributing to its onset, focusing on work-related habits such as prolonged sitting and poor posture.
Objectives: The primary objective was to determine the incidence of CGH in individuals working in IT companies and to evaluate the impact of work hours, ergonomics, and other lifestyle factors on the development of cervicogenic headaches.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an IT company, with data collected from 187 employees through a questionnaire and the cervical flexion rotation test. Participants reported their working hours, neck pain symptoms, and other relevant lifestyle factors. The sample included 130 males and 57 females, and the primary age group was 25-35 years. The cervical flexion rotation test was used as a diagnostic tool to assess CGH prevalence.
