Review Meta Analysis
Are manual therapies effective in reducing pain from tension-type headache?: a systematic review.
A systematic review was performed to establish whether manual therapies have specific efficacy in reducing pain from tension-type headache (TTH). ⋯ The authors found no rigorous evidence that manual therapies have a positive effect in the evolution of TTH. The most urgent need for further research is to establish the efficacy beyond placebo of the different manual therapies currently applied in patients with TTH.
