Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction01:14

Increased Intracranial Pressure l: Introduction

Intracranial hypertension is a sustained elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) above 22 mm Hg. In supine adults, normal ICP is ~7–15 mm Hg.The rigid, nonexpandable cranium contains three components—brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—that total ~1,700 mL in a typical adult: 1,400 mL brain (~80%), 150 mL blood (~10%), and 150 mL CSF (~10%). According to the Monro–Kellie doctrine, total intracranial volume is effectively fixed. When one component expands, CSF and venous blood...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Positional Release Therapy effectively treated a patient with chronic Tension Type Headache (T.T.H). This non-pharmacological approach resolved the headache after just three sessions, with sustained pain relief for eight months.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Tension Type Headache (T.T.H) is the most common headache disorder.
  • Myofascial abnormalities and trigger points are recognized contributors to T.T.H.
  • Positional Release Therapy (PRT) is a manual therapy technique.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old female patient presented with a 9-month history of constant, dull Tension Type Headache.
  • Physical examination revealed active trigger points in the cervical muscles.

Findings:

  • The patient received Positional Release Therapy targeting her cervical trigger points.
  • Complete headache resolution was achieved after three PRT sessions.
  • The patient remained pain-free for eight months post-treatment without medication.

Implications:

  • Positional Release Therapy demonstrates significant efficacy in managing Tension Type Headache.
  • PRT may serve as a viable alternative to pharmacotherapy for T.T.H.
  • Further research is warranted to confirm PRT's effectiveness in larger T.T.H populations.
