The Addition of Diacutaneous Fibrolysis to a Pharmacological Intervention in Patients with Tension-Type Headache: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common headache worldwide. Pharmacological interventions are the most investigated therapies in patients with TTH. The addition of physical therapy treatments such as diacutaneous fibrolysis (DF) may have promising results. The aim of this study was to investigate the addition of three sessions of DF to a pharmacological intervention in patients with TTH. Methods: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was carried out. Participants were randomly assigned to the standard care group or to the DF group. Both groups received a pharmacological intervention. Three sessions of DF in the thoracic and cervicocranial region were added in the DF group. The impact caused by headache (HIT-6), headache intensity, and cervical range of motion were
