Tension headaches are a common type of headache characterized by a dull, aching pain that typically affects the forehead, temples, or the back of the head and neck. They are often described as feeling like a tight band or pressure around the head. The exact cause of tension headaches is not well understood, but they are believed to result from muscle tension and stress. Factors such as poor posture, lack of sleep, eye strain, dehydration, and emotional stress can contribute to their development. Tension headaches can be episodic, occurring less than 15 days a month, or chronic, occurring more frequently. Treatment for tension headaches generally focuses on relieving pain and reducing triggers. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen, aspirin, or acetaminophen are commonly used to manage symptoms. In some cases, muscle relaxants or prescription medications may be recommended. Non-medication strategies, including relaxation techniques, stress management, proper posture, and regular exercise, can help prevent tension headaches. Some individuals find relief through physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, or biofeedback. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with adequate hydration, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep can also reduce the frequency and severity of tension headaches. Identifying and avoiding personal headache triggers is key to managing this condition effectively.
