Summary
This study tests whether manual therapy—gentle neck and muscle techniques—can reduce tension-type headaches in women aged 45-65. Researchers will compare results between menopausal and premenopausal women. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach improves pain, sleep, and quality of life.

What this could lead to
