Objective To study the skew of C2~C7 spinous process deviation and spondylolisthesis in cervical spine X-ray of patients with cervical headache,and summarize the existing rules,so as to provide imaging theoretical support for the treatment of cervical headache．Methods The C2~C7 spinous process distortion and spondylolisthesis in cervical radiographs of 96 patients with cervical headache were observed,recorded and analyzed．Results Skew of spinous process was more common in patients with cervicogenic headache,and skew of right side was more obvious than skew of left side．C2 spinous process was the most common,and the proportion of occurrence was 66.7%．The skew rate of C2 spinous process were compared with that of C3~C7 by χ² test．There were significant differences between C5,C6 and C2．There were no significant difference between C3,C4,C7 and C2．Spondylolisthesis was commonly seen in patients with cervicogenous headache,and I degree spondylolisthesis was most commonly seen in C7,and the proportion of occurrence was 50.0%．There were significant differences between the anterior Ⅰ degree slip rate of C7 vertebrae and that of C2~C6 vertebrae by χ² test．Conclusions C2 spinous process and C7 spondylolisthesis I are more commonly seen in patients with cervicogenic headache．Soft tissue injuries and joint disorders associated with C2 and C7 should be paid more attention in the treatment of patients with cervicogenic headache．
