Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Multimodal manual therapy vs. pharmacological care for management of tension type headache: A meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Manual therapies are generally requested by patients with tension type headache. ⋯ Manual therapies were associated with moderate effectiveness at short term, but similar effectiveness at longer follow-up for reducing headache frequency, intensity and duration in tension type headache than pharmacological medical drug care. However, due to the heterogeneity of the interventions, these results should be considered with caution at this stage.
