Overview

Tension type headache may have following examination findings: Increased pericranial muscle (head, neck or shoulders) and myofascial tissue tenderness on manual palpation. Increased number of myofacial trigger points: frontal, temporal, masseter, ptrygoid, sternocleidomastoid, splenius, and trapezius mucles.
