Can a Traditional Korean Manual Therapy Be a Complementary and Alternative Strategy for Cervicogenic Dizziness? A Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Table 2

CMT regimen for cervicogenic dizziness.

Regions	CMT techniques
Cervical spine	(i) Supine cervical distraction
	(ii) Supine cervical dysfunction correction
	(iii) Supine cervical dysfunction JS distraction/correction
	(iv) Prone cervical distraction technique
Thoracic spine	(i) Sitting upper thoracic dysfunction muscle release/strengthening technique (extension or flexion)
	(ii) Supine thoracic extension dysfunction correction technique
	(iii) Prone lower thoracic flexion dysfunction correction technique
	(iii) Sitting lower thoracic dysfunction muscle release/strengthening technique (extension or flexion)
Lumbar spine	(i) Prone lumbosacral distraction technique
	(ii) Sidelying lumbar rocking distraction technique
	(iii) Sidelying lumbar dysfunction correction technique (extension or flexion)
	(iv) Sitting lumbar flexion dysfunction muscle release/strengthening technique
	(v) Spine flexion distraction technique (flexion, extension, circumduction, sidebending, and magnum pump)

Note. The techniques marked by asterisks are mandatory, whereas the others are discretionary. The practitioners will evaluate each patient before the CMT sessions and perform individually necessary techniques to improve cervicogenic dizziness. CMT, Chuna Manual Therapy.
