Resumen

The objective was to examine the cervical mobility of office workers, relating it to comorbid headache associated with cervical pain. Sixty-four administrative employees (ages 18-59) were recruited; cervical mobility was evaluated using the CROM-3 instrument, neck pain using the Nordic questionnaire, headache impact using HIT-6, and cranio-cervical posture using Rocabado’s cephalometric tracing. The results showed a statistically significant association (p<0.05) in extension, right rotation, and lateral flexion, along with a significant odds ratio for flexion, extension, right rotation, and lateral flexion. It is concluded that reduced cervical mobility in flexion, extension, right rotation, and lateral flexion increases the likelihood of experiencing comorbid headache with neck pain in this context.
