Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In several studies, the excessive tension of the suboccipital muscles are usually referred as a cause of tension-type headache, since they can exert tension on the dura mater through the myodural bridge.
