Update on Tension-type Headache

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common type of headache, characterized by mild to moderate intensity, bilateral, with a pressing or tightening (non-pulsating) quality. Migraine and TTH can occur in the same person, and their risk factors and treatments can overlap. However, TTH receives less attention than migraine. Furthermore, despite the expanding market for migraine treatments targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) mechanisms, the lack of evidence regarding mechanisms related to CGRP-related mechanisms in TTH continues to be neglected. There remains a need to develop effective preventive treatments for chronic TTH, which imposes a very high burden of disease. From this perspective, this review aims to provide the latest evidence on TTH.
