Suboccipital Inhibition in Tension Headache

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The researchers will carry out a randomized experimental study. Participants in the experimental group will receive a treatment based on suboccipital inhibition technique in addition to conventional treatment. Participants in the control group will only receive the conventional treatment. The existence of significant differences in both groups will be analyzed.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Conventional therapy will consist of microwaves, interference currents, and manual therapy.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |

| Experimental: Suboccipital inhibition in tension headache<br>Two groups of patients suffering from tension headache associated with cervicalgia are selected. The control group performs conventional therapy. The experimental group performs conventional therapy plus the technique of suboccipital inhibition | Other: Suboccipital inhibition in tension headache<br>* Deep maneuver of myofascial induction in the suboccipital muscles<br>|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in Visual Analogue Scale for Pain | a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line, usually 10 centimeters (100 mm) in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme: no pain (score of 0) and worst imaginable pain (score of 10) | immediately before starting the intervention and after the last session of the intervention, that is, 2 weeks from the start | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Change in Six-item Headache Impact Text | A global measure of adverse headache impact. The final HIT-6 score is obtained from simple summation of the six items and ranges between 36 and 78, with larger scores reflecting greater impact. | immediately before starting the intervention and after the last session of the intervention, that is, 2 weeks from the start |
