Headaches affect millions of Americans. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, about 45 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches.

Tension-type headaches (or tension headaches)—characterized by pain or discomfort from tense or constricted muscles in the head, neck, or scalp—are one of the most common forms of headaches.

In most patients, tension headaches occur infrequently and can be treated with over-the-counter pain medicine.

However, some people experience these headaches several days per month, or even daily, and may benefit from other treatments.
