Clinical features of manual therapy interventions in people with tension-type headache: A scoping review
The review highlights the diversity of manual therapy techniques, targeted structures, treatment dosages, and therapist backgrounds in the management of tension-type headache. The heterogeneity and limited mechanistic rationale in the included studies restrict interpretability. Future research should focus on mechanism-informed, individualized interventions with standardized reporting.
