Overview
The exact cause of tension-type headaches is still unknown. Multiple pathophysiologic mechanisms explain the possible etiologies or causative factors.
Causes
The exact cause of tension-type headaches is still unknown. In the past, persistent or sustained pericranial muscle contracture and tenderness was thought to be the main etiology of tension type headache. Excessive stress leading to muscle contraction was also considered a suspected cause of tension type headache.
