Background:Headache affects 80?90% of the population. Approximately 47% of the global population suffers from a headache, and 15-20 percent of those headaches are cervicogenic headache Epidemiological researchers suggest prevalence of cervicogenic headache in office workers with neck pain. Cervicogenic headache are usually on one side of the head but can occur on both sides. The pain tends to be dull; not throbbing and can become moderate to severe in intensity. The pain is usually caused by awkward or sustained neck positions and can usually be reproduced by applying pressure to the back of the head and neck. Aim and objective: To find the incidence of cervicogenic headache in bank office workers. Methodology: Nationalize bank were downloaded maximum banks were selected. Total 500 subjects were evaluated then concern form was signed and they were assisted for cervical flexion rotation test and Neck disability index. Results: Mean age (±40.98)20% had cervicogenic headache with neck pain in bank office worker Neck disability index is as follow Mild=405, moderate=15, no disability=80 Conclusion: 20% cervicogenic headache in bank office workers.
