Efficacy of a Multimodal Physiotherapy Program and Mobile-App Guided Meditation in Adults With Frequent or Chronic Tension-Type Headache

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a multimodal physiotherapy program and guided meditation using a mobile app can help reduce headache pain and improve quality of life in adults with frequent or chronic tension-type headache. The study analyzes the effects of physical and psychological interventions applied both separately and in combination, so that the combined treatment addresses tension-type headache as a multifactorial condition influenced by biopsychophysiological factors, integrating physical and psychological strategies to improve participants' overall well-being. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does multimodal physiotherapy lower the intensity and frequency of headaches? * Does guided meditation through a mobile app help reduce stress and improve emotional well-being? * Are the combined effects of physiotherapy and meditation greater than either intervention alone? The study will compare: * A group receiving multimodal physiotherapy sessions once a week for four weeks, * A group practicing guided meditation with a mobile app for about 5 to 7 minutes daily, * A group combining both physiotherapy and meditation. Participants will: * Attend clinical sessions or use the meditation app depending on group assignment, * Complete short questionnaires about pain, stress, sleep, and daily functioning, * Record headache episodes in a structured diary during the study period.

Deep Neck Flexor Exercises Versus Myofascial Release of Suboccipital Muscles in Chronic Tension-type Headache

According to the study of the burden of diseases in 2018, tension-type headache(TTH) is the most common type of primary headache and ranks third in terms of prevalence among 328 diseases and injuries in 195 countries from 1990 to 2016. Suffering from this disorder (especially chronic type) reduces the quality of life of patients. The main objective of this study is to compare the effects of myofascial release of suboccipital muscles as a bottom-up intervention and Deep Neck Flexor(DNF) exercises with Pressure Biofeedback Unit(PBU) as a top-down intervention on headache parameters, the intensity of Forward Head Posture(FHP), disability, quality of life, and suboccipital Pressure Pain Threshold(PPT) in patients with chronic tension-type headache with forward head posture.
