Are there any effective preventive therapies for tension-type headaches (TTH's)? What about treatments?
What will be an ideal response?
Fumal and Schoenen reviewed the research on TTH and concluded that preventive therapy is generally not effective. However, acute behavioral treatment for specific episodes of TTH can be effective. In fact, there is good empirical evidence for the effectiveness of electromyography (EMG) biofeedback combined with relaxation. Overall, the authors recommended the combination of drug therapies (e.g., Ibuprofen or aspirin) and non-pharmacological approaches (e.g., stress management relaxation or physical therapies) for the treatment of TTH.
