Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the suboccipital muscles inhibition technique on patients suffering from tension-type headaches.


Clinical Trial Description

The tension-type headache is a recurrent condition with a high financial repercussion in Portugal. Their side effects often impact daily activities, reducing the quality of life of the patients. In several studies, the excessive tension of the suboccipital muscles are usually referred as a cause of tension-type headache, since they can exert tension on the dura mater through the myodural bridge. ;
