Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if cognitive behavioral approach works to treat tension type headache in smartphone addiction in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is there an effect of adding cognitive behavior approach to physical therapy (manual therapy, corrective exercise therapy) on pain pressure threshold, forward head posture and headache intensity in smartphone addiction patients with tension-type headache? Researchers will compare adding cognitive behavior approach to physical therapy (manual therapy, corrective exercise therapy) to see if cognitive behavior approach works to treat tension type headache in smartphone addiction than physical therapy alone.
Participants will:
All participants will receive twelve treatment sessions (twice per week) in a 6 weeks period with a rest period of 48 to 72 hour between them.
