Effect of craniosacral therapy as a treatment of chronic tension type cephalagia: A case study
Journal Title: Santosh University Journal of Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Chronic Tension-type headache (CTTH) is a highly prevalent condition experienced annually by 30-70% of the population. As a chief complaint, it occupies 5-8% of physiotherapist caseloads, but is probably more prevalent in multiple complaint cases and is a difficult topic to address. It is difficult for the patient because there is no truly effective medical treatment. The role of non-pharmacological therapies in the preventive treatment of tension-type headache (TTH) is still an object of debate. The primary aim of this case study was therefore to investigate the therapeutic effect of craniosacral therapy in CTTH.
