Myofascial Trigger Points and Their Relationship to Headache Clinical Parameters in Chronic Tension‐Type Headache

Abstract

Active TrPs in upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and temporalis muscles were associated with CTTH. CTTH subjects with active TrPs usually reported a greater headache intensity and longer headache duration than those with latent TrPs. CTTH subjects with active TrPs tended to have a greater FHP than CTTH subjects with latent TrPs.
