Myofascial Trigger Point-focused Head and Neck Massage for Recurrent Tension-type Headache

Abstract

Two findings from this study are apparent: (1) MTrPs are important components in the treatment of TTH, and (2) TTH, like other chronic conditions, is responsive to placebo. Clinical trials on HA that do not include a placebo group are at risk for overestimating the specific contribution from the active intervention.
