Prevalence of Neck Pain in Migraine and Tension-type Headache: A Population Study

Prevalence of Neck Pain in Migraine and Tension-type Headache: A Population Study
Cephalalgia 2015 (Mar); 35 (3): 211–219
In conclusion, we demonstrated that neck pain is highly prevalent in the general population and is more prevalent in individuals with migraine and tension-type headache (TTH). Prevalence of neck pain was highest in coexistent headache and pure TTH followed by migraine. Finally, we showed that myofascial pericranial tenderness is significantly increased in individuals with neck pain compared to individuals without neck pain, indicating a possible shared pathophysiological mechanism with primary headache.
