The effect of physical therapy integrated with pharmacotherapy on tension-type headache and migraine in children and adolescents.

Background: Tension-type headache (TTH) and migraine are prevalent neurological conditions in children and adolescents that significantly impact activity of daily living (ADL) and quality of life (QOL). Although physical therapy targeting cervical myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) on TTH and migraine has been extensively studied in adults, the efficacy in pediatric patients remains unexplored. The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of physical therapy integrated with pharmacotherapy on TTH and migraine in children and adolescents.
