Brief Summary

COMPARATIVE EFFECTS OF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE THERAPY AND POST ISOMETRIC RELAXATION TECHNIQUE ON PAIN AND FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE

Detailed Description

Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of primary headache, typically presenting as a bilateral, non-throbbing headache with mild to moderate intensity. Patients with tension-type headache often report band-like tightness and increased tenderness of the pericranial muscles. Use of myofascial release technique and post isometric relaxation technique is believed to reduce the pain and improve the functional disability.
