Tension-type headache – treatment, symptoms, causes, diagnosis
Tension-type headache is usually diffuse, mild to moderate in intensity, and is often described as a feeling of a “tight band” around the head. Tension-type headache (THT) is the most common type of headache, and yet the causes of this type of headache are still not well understood.
The treatment of tension headache is quite effective. Tension-type headache management is often a balance between a healthy lifestyle, the use of non-drug treatments, and the administration of adequate medication.
Symptoms
Symptoms of tension headache include:
- Dull, aching headache
- Feeling of “tightness” or pressure in the forehead or on the sides of the head and in the back of the head
- Soreness of the scalp, neck and shoulder muscles
Tension headaches fall into two main categories – episodic and chronic.
Episodic tension headaches
Episodic tension headaches can last from 30 minutes to a week. Episodic tension headaches occur on less than 15 days per month for at least three months. Frequent episodic tension headaches can become chronic.
Chronic tension headaches
This type of tension headache lasts several hours and may be continuous. If headaches occur 15 days or more per month for at least three months, they are considered chronic.
Tension headaches and migraine
Tension headaches are sometimes difficult to distinguish from migraines. In addition, if a patient has frequent episodic tension-type headaches, they may also have migraines.
Unlike some forms of migraine, tension headaches are usually not accompanied by blurred vision, nausea, or vomiting. And if, with migraine, physical activity increases the intensity of the headache, then with a headache, stress loads do not have such an effect. Hypersensitivity to any light or sound can sometimes occur with tension headaches, but these symptoms are uncommon.
Causes
Causes of tension headache are not known. Medical experts believed that tension headaches are due to problems in the muscles of the face, neck and scalp, which in turn are due to strong emotions, excessive workload or stress. But studies show that muscle spasm is not the cause of this type of headache.
The most common theories are that people who have tension headaches and may have stress sensitivity are hypersensitive to pain. Increased muscle soreness, which is a common symptom of tension-type headache, may be the result of an increase in general pain sensitivity.
Triggers
Stress is the most common trigger that causes tension headaches.
Risk factors
Risk factors for tension headache include:
- Gender. Women are more likely to get this type of headache. One study found that almost 90 percent of women and 70 percent of men experience tension headaches during their lifetime.
- Mean patient age. The frequency of tension-type headaches peaks at age 40, although this headache can develop at any age.
Complications
Due to the fact that headaches can be quite frequent, this can significantly affect productivity and quality of life in general, especially if they become chronic. Frequent pain can disrupt the usual way of life and overall performance.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of tension-type headache is primarily based on clinical history and symptoms and neurological findings.
Physicians may be interested in answers to the following questions:
- When did the symptoms start?
- Did the patient notice any triggers such as stress or hunger?
- Were the symptoms continuous or episodic?
- How severe are the symptoms?
- How often do headaches occur?
- How long did you have a headache for the last time?
- What does the patient think reduces symptoms and what makes symptoms worse?
In addition, the doctor is also interested in the following details:
- Characteristics of pain. Does the pain throb? Is the pain dull, constant, or sharp?
- Pain intensity. A good indicator of headache severity is the amount of time a patient can work during a headache attack. Can the patient work? Are there episodes in which the headache led to awakening from sleep or sleep disturbance?
- Localization of pain. Does the patient feel pain in the whole head, only on one side of the head, or just in the forehead or eye sockets?
Instrumental methods of examination
If the patient has unusual or severe headaches, the doctor may order an additional examination to rule out more serious causes of headaches.
The two most commonly used diagnostic methods, such as CT (computed tomography) and MRI, allow visualization of organs and tissues and detect morphological changes.
Treatment
Some patients with tension-type headache do not go to the doctor and try to treat the pain themselves. Unfortunately, repeated self-use of painkillers can itself cause severe headaches.
Medications
There is a wide variety of medicines, including over-the-counter medicines, to relieve pain, including:
- Painkillers. Simple over-the-counter pain relievers are usually the first line of treatment for headaches. These include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others), and naproxen (Aleve). Prescription drugs include naproxen (Naprosyn), indomethacin (Indocin), and ketorolac (ketorolac tromethamine).
- Combination preparations. Aspirin or acetaminophen, or both, often combined with caffeine or a sedative in the same medication. Combination preparations may be more effective than single-drug preparations.
- Triptans and drugs. For people who have both migraine and tension headaches, triptans can effectively relieve the headache. Opioids, or narcotics, are rarely used because of their side effects and the high risk of addiction.
Preventive drugs
Other drugs may be prescribed to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks, especially if the patient has frequent or chronic headaches that are not relieved by pain medication.
Prophylactic drugs may include:
- Tricyclic antidepressants. Tricyclic antidepressants, including amitriptyline and nortriptyline (Pamelor), are the most commonly used drugs for preventing tension-type headache. Side effects of these drugs may include weight gain, drowsiness, and dry mouth.
- Other antidepressants. There is evidence that antidepressants such as venlafaxine (Effexor XR) and mirtazapine (Remeron) are effective in patients who are also not depressed.
- Anticonvulsants and muscle relaxants. Other drugs that may prevent tension headaches from developing are anticonvulsants such as topiramate (Topamax) and muscle relaxants.
Lifestyle adjustments and home remedies
Rest, ice packs or long, hot showers can often relieve headaches.
Non-drug treatment
- Acupuncture. Acupuncture can provide temporary relief from chronic tension headache.
- Massage. Massage can help reduce stress and release tension. It is especially effective in relieving spasm in the muscles in the back of the head, neck, and shoulders.
- Deep breathing, biofeedback and behavioral therapy. A variety of relaxation treatments are very helpful for tension headaches, including deep breathing and biofeedback.
Tension headache. The second most common disease after caries.
Azimova Yuliya Edvardovna
The feeling of a tight bandage pulled painfully over the head is familiar to many. This is the most common type of headache, tension headache. This is the second most common disease after dental caries. And often this is a reaction to stressful events. Yulia Edvardovna Azimova, neurologist-cephalologist, MD, co-founder of the University Headache Clinic, tells.
Symptoms
People describe tension headache (TTH) as a dull pain that feels like a vise around the head. This headache has a slow onset, mild to moderate intensity. There are no concomitant symptoms (nausea, reactions to light), and it does not worsen with exercise.
HDN is a reaction to stress and anxiety, irregular meals, physical or emotional stress, lack of sleep, prolonged body position in an uncomfortable position, for example, when working at a computer.
This is the most common type of headache. And it is often confused with a migraine.
Diagnosis and treatment
Diagnosed by interview, neurological examination – exclude dangerous symptoms. There are two forms of HDN: episodic and chronic.
Management of TTH is a balance between healthy habits, non-drug treatments and medication.
What can you do yourself?
Some people with episodic TTH just need to relax. Rest and a variety of relaxing treatments (shower, head massage) will help. Or over-the-counter painkillers (paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin).
Frequent cases of TTH should be seen by a doctor, as this pain tends to become a chronic problem if left untreated or treated incorrectly (for example, frequent use of painkillers will lead to another type of pain – abuse, which is difficult to treat).
How can a doctor help?
Confirm the diagnosis. HDN can be difficult to distinguish from migraine. With frequent HDN, there may also be a migraine. You need to be able to distinguish them in order to know how to act.
For chronic TTH (if headache is more than 15 days a month for at least three months), some antidepressants may be prescribed (even if there is no depression), cognitive behavioral therapy (helps with emotionality or increased anxiety that often accompanies TTH). Triptans, anticonvulsants, and muscle relaxants if you have migraine in addition to HDN.
What can help prevent HDN?
Lifestyle adjustment.
Monitor the amount of pain medication taken.
Identify and avoid triggers. Knowing what causes headaches can help you avoid them. @Migrebot, a headache diary in Telegram, will help you track your individual triggers (hunger, eye strain, uncomfortable posture, stress, etc.). It captures information about headache attacks: time of onset, intensity of pain, possible causes. After analyzing these records, you can understand what caused the attack.
