AbstractTension-type headaches are a common occurrence for many people. Psychological issues such as stress, depression, and anxiety have been shown to coexist with tension-type headaches. The relationship between psychological factors and headaches is supported by literature, and treatments that combine a pharmacologic and psychological approach address the needs of the whole person. In this article, the role of psychometric testing and the application of psychological interventions for use on patients with tension-type headaches are reviewed. Recommendations are made about approaches that are designed to improve physical and psychological health.
