Summary

This study tests whether a four-week physiotherapy program and a meditation app can reduce headache pain and improve quality of life in 78 adults with frequent or chronic tension-type headaches. Participants will be split into groups receiving physiotherapy, meditation, or both. They will track headaches and complete questionnaires about pain, stress, and sleep.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

multimodal physiotherapy (manual therapy, dry needling, massage) and mobile-app guided meditation

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to ease tension headaches and improve daily well-being.

What could go wrong
