Abstract.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of two manual treatment methods on pain, disability, and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in tension-type headache (TTH) patients with and neck pain.
Methods: Forty-five patients with TTH were randomly assigned to one of three groups and received eight sessions treatment: manipulation plus exercise (manipulation), suboccipital inhibition plus exercise (myofascial release), and exercise only (control). Headache frequency, pain severity (VAS-headache, VAS-neck pain) and headache and neck disability (HIT-6 and NDI, respectively) were measured at baseline, posttreatment, and at the third month follow-up. PPT was also evaluated on the temporalis muscle.
Results: Manipulation group was statistically better than myofascial release group in terms of headache frequency, headache severity, and PPT scores. Also, manipulation group showed statistically significant improvements in all outcome criteria when compared control group.
Conclusions: Manipulation and exercise, in addition to pharmacologic treatment in TTH patients with cervical dysfunction appear to be a promising approach.
