Summary
This study tests whether adding cognitive behavior therapy to physical therapy can reduce tension headaches in adults who are addicted to their smartphones.

The goal is to see if this combined approach improves headache intensity, neck pain sensitivity, and forward head posture better than physical therapy alone.
