Diagnostic Value of Clinical Cervical Spine Tests in Patients With Cervicogenic Somatic Tinnitus.

CONCLUSIONS: Clinical cervical spine tests can support the diagnostic process of CST. An NBQ score <14 points and the absence of trigger points can help to exclude CST. In contrast, a positive manual rotation and AST can help to include CST. We advise to include these test in a multidisciplinary assessment of patients with suspected CST.
