简要总结
Patients suffering from Tension Type Headache (TTH) report emotional and functional deficits (missing work, sleep disorders, emotional stability) and are susceptible to pharmaceutical abuse. Cervical muscle training, posture correction, spinal mobilization, and other physical therapy modalities may help alleviate symptoms.
This study will aim to compare the effect of manual therapy and kinesio taping on tension-type headache.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analouge Scale
时间窗: 8 weeks
The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to assess the students' headache intensity before the intervention, after one month, and at the end intervention. VAS is used to transform some numerical values, such as pain, to numeric values. The two extremes of a 10 cm line are to be assessed on two extremes, and the patient is requested to indicate where the degree of the pain is appropriate by drawing a line or pointing.
次要结局
- The 6-item headache questionnaire(8 weeks)
- A headache diary(8 weeks)
