Pharmacological and Non-Pharmacological approaches to manage Tension-Type Headache: a Systematic Review

Tension-Type Headaches (TTH), particularly in its chronic form, constitutes a persistent pain syndrome that can substantially impair physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning. Although this is the most common type of headache, there is a lack of clear consensus on the optimal long-term treatment strategy.

A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the evidence for the effectiveness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments in patients diagnosed with episodic or chronic TTH, focusing on improvements in headache pain and related clinical outcomes.
