Manual joint mobilisation techniques, supervised physical activity, psychological treatment, acupuncture and patient education for patients with tension-type headache. A systematic review and meta-analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis explores the effectiveness of various non-pharmacological treatments for tension-type headache (TTH), a prevalent health condition worldwide. The researchers examined the evidence for manual joint mobilization techniques, supervised physical activity, psychological treatment, acupuncture, and patient education. The review found limited evidence for the effectiveness of these interventions in reducing headache frequency and improving quality of life. The analysis highlighted the need for further robust research to assess the efficacy of non-pharmacological treatments for TTH, particularly for specific interventions and patient populations.

Non-pharmacological approaches for tension-type headache: a mixed picture

The systematic review highlights the need for more rigorous research to evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments for tension-type headache. While some interventions show promise, the evidence remains limited, underscoring the need for further investigation.

Health implications and everyday applications

Patients with tension-type headache should consult with their healthcare provider to discuss potential non-pharmacological treatment options. The decision should be based on individual patient characteristics, preferences, and the availability of evidence-based interventions.

Dr.Camel's Conclusion

Finding relief from tension-type headache is like searching for a cool oasis in a scorching desert. This review reveals the need for further research to illuminate the path toward effective non-pharmacological treatments for this common condition.
