Overview
Tension headache is one of the most common type of headaches. Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most prevalent headache in the general population. Tension-type headache (TTH) is the second-most prevalent disorder in the world. A Danish Registry showed 1 year prevalances of infrequent episodic, frequent episodic and and chronic TTH were 63.5, 21.6 and 0.9% respectively. A United States study showed that the 1 year prevalences of episodic and chronic TTH were 38.3 and 2.2%. Females have a higher prevalence compared to males. Limited data suggests TTH to be more prevalent in whites compared to black in the US, irrespective of sex. A recent study showed that TTH prevalence peaking in the 4th decade. A Danish study showed decreasing prevalence of TTH with increasing age.
