IMPACTO DAS ALTERNATIVAS NÃO FARMACOLÓGICAS PARA O TRATAMENTO DA CEFALÉIA TENSIONAL

This study is a systematic reviwed aimed at analyzing non-pharmacological therapies in the treatment of tension-type headache. The databases used were PubMed and Scielo. It was observed that several relaxation techniques, such as acupuncture and myofascial release, are beneficial and provide relief from pain episodes and disability. However, few studies present a standardized assessment of how each technique actually affects the patient. Thus, this study reinforces the need for further research with well-defined protocols to compare the effectiveness of these methods.
