Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Chronic headaches in adolescents can have consequences such as absence from school, inability to maintain social activities, and additional disorders such as anxiety, depression, problems sleeping, and reduced quality of life to investigates the efficacy shock wave diathermy on tension headaches in adolescent females

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prevalence of headaches increases with age, with a prevalence of 82% during adolescence. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy could reduce the pain of myofascial pain syndrome by pain signal alteration, promoting angiogenesis and increasing perfusion in ischemic tissues induced by sensitization of nociceptors and muscle ischemia
