Management of tension-type headache
Tension-type headache is now the term used to describe headaches that have previously been grouped under various ill-defined headings such as 'tension headache', 'stress headache' and 'muscle contraction headache'.1 Tension-type headaches are characterised by pain that is mild or moderate in severity, bilateral in distribution, pressing or tightening in quality, and unaccompanied by major systemic disturbance or neurological signs. While many people have mild, infrequent tension-type headaches which they do not regard as an illness, a minority have chronic and often daily symptoms. Here we review the management of tension-type headaches in adults.
