Tension-type headache is a primary neurological headache disorder and the most prevalent form of headache across the general population

It is characterized by recurrent episodes of mild-to-moderate, bilateral head pain with a pressing, tightening, non-pulsating band-like sensation that is not aggravated by routine physical activity

Pathophysiologically, it involves multifactorial mechanisms, combining peripheral myofascial tenderness and muscular tension in episodic forms with central sensitization and impaired antinociceptive pain processing in chronic forms

Unlike migraine, it typically occurs without autonomic dysfunction, nausea, or vomiting, and it is rarely accompanied by more than one symptom of either photophobia or phonophobia
