The most common type of primitive headache is the tension type headache (TTH). The focus of complete research work was to compare the impression of EMG, GSR and EEG integrated biofeedback on stress due to headache and quality-of-life of the subjects under consideration. EMG biofeedback (BF) and galvanic skin resistance (GSR) are considered effective therapy for headaches. There are no such comparative effects of visual and auditory EMG biofeedback for headaches. Twenty subjects were subjected to EEG therapy. The variables for stress (pain) and SF-36(Quality of life) scores were recorded at starting point, 30 days and 90 days after the starting of GSR and EMG-BF therapy.

Development in the field of technology is growing with a fast pace, mainly the IoT (internet of things). It is an interface between machine-to-machine, machine-to-human, machine-to-infrastructure as well as machine-to-environment. Stress, especially TTH (tension type headache), is a serious problem in today's world. Now every person in this world is facing headache and stress-related problems in daily life. To measure the stress level, the authors have introduced the concept of EEG, EMG, and GSR biofeedback. In case of TTH, human is in a state in which one experiences pain like a physical weight or a tight band around one's head. TTH is different from migraine as it can be affected due to everyday activities. The most common type of primitive headache is tension type headache (TTH). The focus of the research work was to compare the impression of EMG-, GSR-, and EEG-integrated biofeedback on stress due to headache and quality of life of the subjects under consideration.

Aim. To estimate the effect of reflexotherapy and standard pharmacological therapy on quality of life in patients with chronic tension-type headache (CTTH).Materials and methods. 95 patients (16 men and 79 women) with CTTH have been taken as the object of research. All patients were divided into two clinical groups. Patients of group 1 received amitriptyline 35-70 mg/day and tolperisone 450 mg/day. Patients of group 2 were assigned to 2-4 courses of injecting reflexotherapy according to the suggested methodology. The intensity of headache was assessed on the basis of scores on the Visual Analogous Scale (VAS). The quality of life was evaluated in all the patients with the aid of the SF-36 survey.Results. In both clinical groups there was decrease in quality of life in all scales except physical function (PF). All patients positively evaluated the results of the treatment. The intensity of pain reduced to 1,7±0,78 points (p<0,05) in the 1st group and 1,65±0,79 (p<0,05) in the 2nd group. As a result of the treatment, quality of life improved significantly in all scales except social function (SF). This index didn't statistically differ in both groups (p>0,05).Conclusion. CTTH significantly affect physical and mental components of patients’ health. The results obtained from the study showed the potential use of injecting reflexotherapy as treatment for CTTH.

Abstract Objectives Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most prevalent primary headache disorder. We assessed the cross-sectional impact of TTH on health related quality of life (HRQoL) in a general population. We also examined the association of HRQoL scores with headache frequency, disability, medication overuse, poor self-rated health, psychiatric comorbidity, and pain sensitivity in individuals with TTH. Methods A sample of 547 subjects completed a headache diagnostic interview, the SF-12 to calculate physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) health component scores, depression (major depression inventory [MDI]) and neuroticism (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire) measures. We defined the following headache diagnosis categories: pure TTH, pure migraine, and coexistent headache (TTH + migraine). Cases were further classified into chronic (≥15) or episodic (<15 headache days/month). Results Using generalized linear models (GLM) adjusted for age, sex and education, both PCS-12 and MCS-12 scores varied in groups distinguished by migraine and TTH status; scores were lower for individuals with coexistent headache (TTH + migraine; n=83), followed by pure TTH (n=97) and pure migraine (n=43) compared to the no headache group (n=324) (p≤0.001). In analyses considering chronicity, PCS-12 scores were lower in chronic coexistent headache followed by pure chronic TTH (CTTH), episodic migraine +/− episodic TTH (ETTH) and pure ETTH than in the no headache group (p≤0.001). MCS-12 scores were lower in pure CTTH, followed by chronic coexistent headache, episodic migraine +/− ETTH and pure ETTH compared to the no headache group (p≤0.001). Multiple regression models showed that in TTH, lower PCS-12 scores were associated with age (p=0.04), female sex (p=0.02), and poor self-rated health (p≤0.001). Lower MCS-12 scores in TTH were associated with depression (p≤0.001). Conclusions In a population sample, TTH, and to higher degree CTTH, are associated with decreased HRQoL.

This chapter applied the random sampling in selection of the subjects suffering with headache, and care was taken that they ensure to fulfill the International Headache Society criteria. Subjects under consideration were assigned the two groups of GSR-integrated audio-visual feedback, GSR (audio-visual)- and EMG (audio-visual)-integrated feedback groups. In 10 sessions, the subjects experienced the GSR and EMG BF therapy for 15 minutes. Twenty subjects were subjected to EEG therapy. The variables for stress (pain) and SF-36 (quality of life) scores were recorded at starting point, 30 days, and 90 days after the starting of GSR and EMG-BF therapy. To reduce the anxiety and depression in day-to-day routine, the present research work is shown as evidence in favor of the mindful meditation. The physical, mental, and total scores increased over the time duration of SF-36 scores after 30- and 90-days recordings (p<0.05). Intergroup analysis has demonstrated the improvement. EMG-audio visual biofeedback group also showed highest improvement in SF-36 scores at first and third month follow up. EEG measures the Alpha waves for the subjects after meditation. GSR, EMG, and EEG-integrated auditory-visual biofeedback are efficient in solution of stress due to TTH with most advantage seen.

Abstract Aims Some evidence supports that referred pain elicited by active trigger points (TrPs) reproduces some features of tension type headache (TTH). Our aim was to investigate the association between the number of active TrPs and health-related quality of life TTH. Methods Patients with TTH diagnosed by experienced neurologists according to the last International Headache Classification (ICHD-III) were included. Exclusion criteria included other primary headaches, medication overuse headache, whiplash injury or fibromyalgia. TrPs were bilaterally explored within the masseter, temporalis, trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, splenius capitis, and suboccipital. Health-related quality of life was assessed with the SF-36 questionnaire including 8 domains: physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Higher scores represent better quality of life. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to determine correlations between the active TrPs and SF-36. Results Two hundred and two patients (mean age: 45±12 years) with a headache frequency of 17±7 days/month participated. Each patient with TTH exhibited 4.7±2.9 active TrPs. The number of active TrPs showed moderate weak negative associations with bodily pain (rs: −0.216; P =0.002), emotional role (rs: -0.185; P = 0.008) and vitality (rs: –0.161; P = 0.02), but not with the remaining domains: the higher the number of active TrPs, the worse the emotional role and vitality and the higher the pain interference with daily life. These results were similar in both frequent episodic and chronic TTH. Conclusions The number of active TrPs was associated with sensory and emotional aspects of quality of life in a cohort of subjects with TTH.

<p>A primary headache is the most common neurological complaint and is experienced by almost everyone throughout life.  The most common type of primary headache is TTH (Tension-Type Headache) and Migraine. Quality of sleep is associated with life satisfaction and data shows that one-third of adults are affected by poor sleep. Many studies have mentioned that there is a relationship between quality of sleep and primary headache, but no study has ever been conducted in Siloam Hospital Karawaci. We did a case-control study in Siloam Hospital Karawaci using purposive sampling, with a total of 50 patients as the subjects. Data were collected using the PSQI questionnaire and DASS 42 between January 2019 – March 2019. It was found that there was a significant relationship between sleep quality and primary headache (p= &lt;0,001).</p>

Many apps and analyzers based on machine learning have been designed already to help and cure the stress issue, which is an epidemic. The project is based on an experimental research work that the authors have performed at Research Labs and Scientific Spirituality Centers of Dev Sanskriti VishwaVidyalaya, Haridwar and Patanjali Research Foundations, Uttarakhand. In their research work, the correctness and accuracy have been studied and compared for two biofeedback devices named as electromyography (EMG) and galvanic skin response (GSR), which can operate in three modes—audio, visual, and audio-visual—with the help of data set of tension type headache (TTH) patients. They have realized by their research work that these days people have lot of stress in their life so they planned to make an effort for reducing the stress level of people by their technical knowledge of computer science. In their project, the authors have a website that contains a closed set of questionnaires from SF-36, which have some weight associated with each question.

Introduction. Tension-Type Headache (TTH) is the most prevalent headache often associated with impaired function and quality of life. Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and TTH frequently coexist; characterized by pericranial tenderness and impact on daily life. We aim to apply a standardized questionnaire for TMD to characterize and analyse an eventual relation between sleep and oral health in TTH in a controlled design. Material and Methods. 58 consecutive TTH patients and 58 healthy controls were included. The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) questionnaire, Oral Health Impact profile (OHIP) and questionnaires for sleep were applied. Results. TTH-patients had significantly higher pain scores (), decreased quality of life (), and higher total sleep scores () compared to controls. Conclusion. For the first time we have identified a clear relation between TTH and TMD symptoms, depression, anxiety, poor sleep, and impairments of oral function in carefully classified patients. These findings indicate a close, but incomplete, overlap between TTH and TMD. Their underlying pathophysiological mechanisms need further research.
